A double strike from Ahmed Khalil helped the UAE beat Japan 2-1 in their 2018 Fifa World Cup qualifying match at the Saitama Stadium on Thursday.
Khalil's wonder strike in the 20th minute and a Panenka penalty in the 54th saw the UAE dream of a World Cup berth since 1990 get a big booster. The match was a brilliant team effort with the Great Wall of the UAE defence thwarting the barrage of Samurai intrusions in the final half hour. It was a nail biting finish to the proceedings and keeper Khalid Eisa was a busy body. The defiant Emirati defence fought fire with fire and ensured the team down Japan for the first time in the Cup qualifiers. Coach Mahdi Ali will be a relived man with this win.
For Khalil, this is his No. 13 on the Road to Moscow 2018. And for the record, Khalil 20th minute stunner was the first goal conceded by the Japanese defence in the World Cup qualifiers. The Japanese defence had stood resolute for 740 minutes but it took an Emirati just 20 minutes to blow it apart.
The day started with the 'Samurai Blue' controlling possession. And in the 11th minute Keisuke Honda drew the first blood. Honda leapt over all to connect a free kick with a header that saw the ball bounce off the ground into the net.
Meanwhile, Madhi Ali said: "I'm very happy with the result. It's a wonderful thing to start the third round with a win away against one of the best teams in Asia. against Japan in Japan," said Madhi Ali at the Press conference.
