Four minutes before the time, Waleed Azaro reduced the deficit for the hosts after he timed his run perfectly to head in Soud Saeed's cross, to make it 3-1.
Manolo Gabbiadini grabbed his brace and the fourth for his side in the 71st minute when he was teed up by Adel Taarabt as the former brilliantly dribbled Ajman's defense outside the box and curled a left-footed effort into the back of the net, to make it 4-1 and to seal the win for Al Nasr.
