UAE were in sublime form once again as they eased past Thailand 3-1 on Monday evening at the Zabeel Stadium to remain second in Group G of the 2022 World Cup and 2023 Asian Cup joint qualifiers.
Goals from Caio (14’), Fabio Lima (34’) in the first half put UAE in a strong position before Suphanath Mueanta pulled one back nine minutes after the break.
However, deep into the stoppage time, Mohammed Jumaa added his name on the score-sheet to make it 3-1 for the hosts. UAE are placed second in Group G, two points behind Vietnam and are up against Indonesia on Friday before facing Vietnam on the final matchday – 15th June.
