Luvannor netted his second just past the hour mark. When it looked like the game was heading for a draw, Gyan rose above the opposition defence to head in a corner for his team to return with all three points.

The two goals have increased the former Al Ain's tally to four goals since joining Al Ahli on loan this season from Shanghai SIPG.
