The win lifted Ajman to six points and eighth place in the standings, while Sharjah dropped to tenth with four points.

The visitors nearly went ahead in the 11th minute when defender Maro Katinic's misplaced back pass forced goalkeeper Darwish Mohammad into a desperate save from Junior Flemmings.

Ajman finally found the breakthrough when Dino Hotić released Azaro with a superb through ball.
The Moroccan striker raced clear and slotted past the goalkeeper to secure all three points for Ajman.
