Asamoah Gyan leading the celebration after scoring the opener<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan opened the scoring from the spot as Al Ain beat Al Wasl 2-0 on Friday night to move to second place in the UAE Pro League.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The on-loan Sunderland player converted a penalty on 11 minutes which was earned by Ignacio Scocco, a summer import from Greece.<\/p>\n

Scocco then added one of his own with a smart snap volley, as Al Ain all but wrapped up this Pro League fixture within the first 32 minutes.<\/p>\n

Last week, Gyan scored a double to aid his side earn a 2-2 at Baniyas.<\/p>\n

Wasl, managed by legend Diego Maradona, was left fuming after the final whistle.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I went to the referee at the end of the first half, I wanted to give my opinion about a certain incident that had happened,\u201d Maradona said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was stopped from doing that, and was shoved to the side by the police and treated like I was an outsider. It was not right.<\/p>\n

\u201cAl Ain deserved to win. They were the better team, and that doesn\u2019t bother me.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat bothered me is the fact the officials want the limelight, as I have said before.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
