Al Wahda returned to winning ways with an impressive 3–0 victory over Bani Yas at Al Nahyan Stadium in Matchweek 12 of the ADNOC Pro League, inspired by a superb hat-trick from Omar Khrbin.
Khrbin scored all three goals in the first half, while Dusan Tadić played a decisive role by providing three assists, as Al Wahda dominated proceedings from the outset.
The opening goal arrived in the 12th minute when Khrbin finished confidently from a precise Tadić pass, before the duo combined again six minutes later to double the lead.
Bani Yas attempted to respond but struggled to create clear chances, and just before half-time, Khrbin completed his hat-trick in the 49th minute with another composed finish, once again set up by Tadić.
It marked Khrbin’s third hat-trick in the Pro League, all scored in Al Wahda colours. Tadić, meanwhile, became the first Al Wahda player to register three assists in the first half of a league match.
The second half saw a slower tempo, with play largely concentrated in midfield. Al Wahda remained the more threatening side, while Bani Yas came closest to scoring in the 74th minute, but the scoreline remained unchanged.
The win lifts Al Wahda to 24 points in second place, while Bani Yas remain on seven points in 12th position.
