The beach soccer team succeeded in overcoming the obstacle of the strong Spain team by beating it 4-3 in its opening match in the tournament, and the first half ended with a positive draw 2-2, as Ahmed Bishr advanced to Al-Abyad and then Oliver Santiago tied for Spain, but the team then succeeded in regaining its lead from Rashid Hassan road, then Haitham Al Kaabi scored an own goal, giving the Spaniards a tie.
With the second half, Al-Abyad continued his offensive pressure to advance again, and his efforts resulted in Spain's Jose Armas being banned, by scoring a goal against his country.
But the Spaniards did not surrender to the result, and they equalized again through David Navarro, before the national team was able to score the winning goal through goalkeeper Mohamed Bahri with a powerful shot.
The national team is scheduled to meet at 6:45 pm today with its Saudi counterpart in a match that will ensure victory for the UAE team to qualify for the semi-finals, without considering the outcome of its match on Thursday against Brazil.

I believe in my team and its ability to reach the farthest point in the tournament."
