66' India never looked like a team which could score a single goal here. The Blue Tigers have failed to even string three straight passes, retain possession and have left too many gaps at the back for the UAE midfield to exploit and find the strikers who have been ever so lethal tonight. It is a tactical and experimental disaster for India in the pretext of a friendly.

65' GOAL! Ali Mabhkout turns provider, finds Khalil Al Hammadi with a through ball who finishes it beyond Sandhu's reach.

63' UAE finds gaps at ease at the back, the Indian defence seems to have run of steam. Too many unforced errors and weak judgement of position.

OUT - Lalengmawia Ralte, Liston Colaco
IN - Raynier Fernandes, Ishan Pandita

55' WIDE! Horrendous defending the Indian side. Fabio de Lima is left unmarked and has a free header go wide.

53' Mahmoud Khamis goes for goal from the set-piece but the attempt is way wide.

52' Mohammad Yasir brings down Abdalla Ramadan. Free-kick to UAE.

HALF TIME: India 0-2 UAE

A dominant UAE side dismantle the Indian defence with quick through passes, high pressure and quality crosses. Ali Mabkhout opeend the scoring after a fantastic Fabio de Lima cross before doubling the lead from the spot. A mountain to climb for India in the second-half.

Additional TIme: 2 Minutes.

44' Mahmoud Khamis and Abdalla Ramadan play a little one-two between themselves but Adil Khan clears India's lines at th final moment.

42' UAE have used the likes of Fabio de Lima and Abdullah Ramadan to stretch the Indian defence. Both the playakers have an immense amount of pace and creativity. The Indian defence seems to be not in sync and are allowing too much space down the wings.

40' Fabio de Lima crosses in, Khan clears.

39' Ramadan finds Mabkhout yet again with a through ball, but the two-time scorer is flagged offside.

36' Fabio de Lima and Ali Mabkhout combine again in quick one touch play. Mabkhout tries to find Bandar Al Ahbabi from the cross but Sandhu collects.

34' UAE all over India so far, the home side is using the wings at tandem.

20' Fabio de Lima delivers in two consecutive crosses from the right, Mashoor Shereef and Adil Khan clear their lines.
