Rapid goals by Waleed Salem and Ali Mohammad on three minutes put the Emiratis in front before Abbas Daryaei took it up to 3-0.An own goal by Rashid Al Jassim then helped further UAE's cause and Salem then scored his second and the Emirates’s fifth with a wonderful bicycle kick on the buzzer. 
Haitham Mohamed opened the second period with a close-range strike before Fawaz Daoud fired into the unguarded post for Qatar’s first goal on 22 minutes. Ahmed Salem then opened the third period with his goal before skipper Walid Mohammad easily tapped in their eighth to hand the Qataris their second straight loss in the tournament.
