Yohan Cabaye made his bow for new club Al Nasr on Wednesday, helping the Dubai club to a 1-0 win over Emirates in the Arabian Gulf Cup.
The France international played the full 90 minutes as Nasr kicked off their cup campaign with a victory thanks to a Marquinhos Gabriel goal a minute before half time.
The former Newcastle United, Paris Saint-Germain midfielder is the UAE's most high-profile signing of the 2018/19 season after joining from Crystal Palace in the summer and impressed on his debut at the Al Makhtoum Stadium.
Cabaye, 32, has been capped 48 times by France, playing at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Nasr finished fourth in the AGL last season, 16 points behind champions Al Ain.
Elsewhere in Group B, there were victories for Al Jazira and Al Ain, while Al Wahda were the only winners in Group A after seeing off Shabab Al Ahli Dubai, with Al Wasl drawing their opener against Ittihad Kalba and Ajman held 1-1 at home against Baniyas.

TEACHERS' PAY - WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Pay varies significantly depending on the school, its rating and the curriculum. Here's a rough guide as of January 2021:
- top end schools tend to pay Dh16,000-17,000 a month - plus a monthly housing allowance of up to Dh6,000. These tend to be British curriculum schools rated 'outstanding' or 'very good', followed by American schools
- average salary across curriculums and skill levels is about Dh10,000, recruiters say
- it is becoming more common for schools to provide accommodation, sometimes in an apartment block with other teachers, rather than hand teachers a cash housing allowance
- some strong performing schools have cut back on salaries since the pandemic began, sometimes offering Dh16,000 including the housing allowance, which reflects the slump in rental costs, and sheer demand for jobs
- maths and science teachers are most in demand and some schools will pay up to Dh3,000 more than other teachers in recognition of their technical skills
- at the other end of the market, teachers in some Indian schools, where fees are lower and competition among applicants is intense, can be paid as low as Dh3,000 per month
- in Indian schools, it has also become common for teachers to share residential accommodation, living in a block with colleagues
