AFC World Cup Qualifiers: Thailand 1-1 UAE: Edgardo Bauza promises plan for the future

The UAE boss looks ahead after disappointment against Thailand.

UAE national team coach Edgardo Bauza was disappointed with his team's 1-1 draw to Thailand in their 2018 World Cup qualifier on Tuesday but has set his sights on improvement in the future.

Ali Mabkhout’s injury-time equaliser kept their slim hopes of a place at Russia 2018 alive after they salvaged a point with a 1-1 draw against Group B’s bottom side at Rajamangala Stadium.

"Today's match was not what I wanted. I am sad for this result. I am not happy at all," Bauza said at his post-match press conference.
