A poor first round of the campaign saw UAE defeated by Vietnam and Thailand and they are left with 9 points from 5 matches.

The repair started with the 4-0 mauling of Malaysia last week and they are most likely to carry on the momentum with remaining 3 games played on their home soil.

However, some sloppy moments in defense cost them three points. Despite taking the lead twice, they surrendered valuable points in the 2-2 draw.
