UAE’s Mahdi Ali: Japan scored with just two attacks

The 51-year-old was disappointed that his side couldn’t make the most of the chances that came their way…

UAE suffered a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Japan on Thursday evening at Al Ain with goals from Yuya Kubo and Yasuyuki Konno.

The defeat saw UAE being placed on fourth position in Group B with Saudi Arabia and Japan leading the table followed by Australia in third.
