UAE Premier League leaders Ahli Dubai have been knocked out of the last 16 phase of the Emirate President's cup, following a 1-0 defeat by second division Banni Yas on Saturday.

Hosni Abd-Rabou's team were punished by a 68th minute strike by Senegalese forward Papa Georges.

Ahli were unbeaten in their previous four games, in which Egypt midfielder Abd-Rabou scored twice.

The Reds, who are one point above Al-Ain at the league's summit, will meet Al-Sharjah on December 6th.
