Qatar, Yemen play to draw in Asian Qualifiers

DOHA, September 21, 2019-The Qatari U16 football team shared a 1-1 draw equal points with Yemen in Group E of the AFC U-16 Championship 2020 Qualifiers on Friday.

Qatar had the advantage of playing at home but Yemen, confidence boosted by their 10-1 win over Bhutan in their opener, were not overawed by their opponents.

A tight first half ended goalless but Qatar eventually opened the scoring with Mohammed Salem Al Quraishi converting a penalty in the 58th minute.

Yemen's determination, however, was rewarded in the 77th minute when Hasan Mohammed Al Kwamani fired home the equaliser.

Neither side was able to conjure a winning goal, setting the stage for an exciting climax on Sunday.
