The United Arab Emirates (UAE), led by head coach Paulo Bento, won a come-from-behind victory over Qatar and started the third qualifying round of the FIFA World Cup in North Korea and China in a good mood.
The UAE came from behind to beat Qatar 3-1 in the first Group A match of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup at Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium in Alaiyan, Qatar on the 6th (Korea time).
UAE, which had a big catch with a hot number of points from the first game, won one game (three points, plus two points), taking the lead among the six teams in Group A.
Qatar is a strong team that reached the top of the Asian Cup, which concluded in February, but the UAE’s power with Bento’s unique organizational power was also formidable.
UAE allowed Qatar’s Mohamed al-Hasan to score the first goal in the 38th minute of the first half, ending the first half behind 0-1.
However, in the second half, Hareb Amdala scored back-to-back goals in the 23rd minute of the second half, Khaled Ibrahim in the 35th minute of the second half, and Ali Saleh in the extra time of the second half made a thrilling turnaround. 메이저놀이터
