The national team bid farewell to the Asian qualifier for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, by losing to Australia 2-1 in the match that brought them together in Doha yesterday at Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium.
After a negative first half, the "Kangaroo" managed to advance first through Jackson Irvine (53), but Caio equalized for the Emirates two minutes later, before Australia scored the winning goal through Ajden Hrustek (84).
"Al-Abyad" performed well in the total match, with the exception of some minor tactical errors, which eliminated the great dream of taking the penultimate step on the way to the World Cup.
The coach of the UAE national team, Argentinian, surprised Rodolfo Aruabarina, with a squad dominated by the youth elements, while he kept on the bench a group of stars, most notably Amouri and Bandar Al Ahbabi.
A clear advantage appeared for the national team during long periods in the first half, but it was not able to create real chances except with the 17th minute, when Hareb Abdullah received a ball from the left side and penetrated to the six yards area, but in the end he shot the ball in the defense, wasting the opportunity to advance. .
A similar ball was given to the same player, who received a magical pass from Abdullah Ramadan, and put him in a direct confrontation with the Australian goalkeeper, Matthew Ryan, who removed the "hareb" shot, despite the proximity of the distance "35".
Contrary to the course of the meeting, the Australian team succeeded in the second half, from an attack that came out of the control of the Al-Abyad defense, so that Jackson Irvine managed to kidnap Martin Boyle's cross and turn it into the net amid a slip from Khalifa Al Hammadi.
Al-Abyad did not give up, and the response came quickly thanks to the skill of Hareb Abdullah, who dribbled the right back, Inkinson, and distributed a cross that fell in front of Caio, to hit the ceiling of the goal.
Arruabarina sought to revitalize the national team after a state of decline in the level that gave Australia the advantage in the possession level, so he beat the duo, Ali Saleh and Yahya Nader, at the expense of Ali Mabkhout and Abdullah Ramadan, but the preference remained for the competitor amid the brilliance of Khaled Issa, who turned the shot of substitute Jimmy McClaren To a corner kick, "80".
The Australian players were able to translate their advantage in those minutes to a goal by Agden Hrustek's shot, hitting Ali Salmin, changing its direction and netting Khaled Issa.
4 reasons that brought down the "white" dream
missed opportunities
The national team presented a great level in the first half from all sides, especially at the level of possession of the ball in the middle of the field, but the team missed many easy opportunities to score the first goal after Hareb Abdullah missed more than one chance, and the first half ended in a draw without goals.
Arruabarina changes
Argentinian coach Rodolfo Arruabarrena was late in making the substitutions, especially after the Australian team dominated the game in the last 25 minutes of the match, as Al-Abyad missed the services of Majid Hassan and Omar Abdel Rahman, who have great experience in this type of matches.
defense errors
The national team did not maintain the impressive performance it made in the first half at the level of great stability in the performance of the defense line, before the players' returns declined in the face of the most important sources of danger in the Australian team, which are the cross balls from which the team scored two goals.
physical decline
The "white" did not benefit from the modest level of the Australian team, and despite the national team's control over the course of the game, but the decline in the physical return of the players in the second half, contributed to the superiority of the "kangaroo", while the physical fitness of the national team players did not help them return in the result of the meeting.
