AFC Asian Qualifiers: UAE’s Thorough Preparations Secured Historic 5-0 Win Vs Qatar Says Head Coach Paulo Bento
AFC Asian Qualifiers Road: United Arab Emirates (UAE) head coach Paulo Bento attributed his team's dominant 5-0 victory over Qatar in the AFC Asian Qualifiers Road to 26 Group A match to thorough preparation.
Fabio Lima starred with four goals, including a first-half hat-trick, which helped UAE climb to third place in the group, keeping them within reach of Iran and Uzbekistan.
“We prepared well to face Qatar, knowing they have a strong team with exceptional players and a high-level coach. We considered every possible scenario, as predicting their strategy was challenging. We succeeded in capitalizing on our chances and scoring goals – something we struggled with in the match against Uzbekistan, despite performing well. Unfortunately, we missed many easy opportunities then,” Bento was quoted saying by AFC website.
