Ramon Lopes netted late to hand Khorfakkan a 1-0 victory over Hatta at Saqr bin Mohammad al Qassimi Stadium in matchweek 21 of the Arabian Gulf League on Monday night.
Hatta keeper Mohammed Waleed denied Khorfakkan forward Ramon Lopes on several occasions in the first half. The guests also had a number of chances on target, as Jonathas' header went inches wide and a free-kick from Dostonbek Khamdamov hit the bar.
Jonathas found the back of the net in the 70th minute, but his goal was ruled out for an offside. It was Khorfakkan who snatched the victory 16 minutes later when Ramon Lopes dribbled past Hatta defence inside the box before tapping home.
Khorfakkan are edging closer to safety as they now have 21 points and temporarily occupy 10th place, pending Al Dhafra's clash with Al Wahda on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the defeat compounded Hatta's misery as they remain at the bottom with 8 points.
