Swiss striker Haris Seferovic gave Al Wasl the lead three minutes into the second half before Fabio Lima and Adama Diallo scored in the 58th and seven minutes into stoppage time.

It was Al Wasl's first league triumph since 2007 and equalled Shabab Al Ahli's eight titles behind Al Ain on 14.

Al Wasl's league success sealed a domestic double after they lifted the UAE President's Cup earlier this month.
