Sebastian Tigali narrowed the difference to the Emirati “White” with a header in the second minute of stoppage time.
Also in the second group, Kuwait plays against Qatar, which participates in the U-23 team.
Commenting on the result of the match, the coach of the UAE national team, Rodolfo Arwabarina, announced that he took responsibility for the loss against Bahrain.
He pointed out that his team controlled the match during the first 25 minutes, but then retreated, before the level declined a lot in the second half.
