Arabian Sea - Yemen - Special: In a dramatic scene that made every Yemeni's heart stop, the Yemeni Olympic team under 23 wrote a new chapter of determination and resolve, after snatching an exciting victory from the jaws of defeat against their Bangladeshi counterpart with a clean goal in the (90+4) minute, scored by substitute Mohammed Al-Awami just minutes after entering the field of the "Viet Tri" stadium in Vietnam, as part of the second round of the Asian Cup qualifiers. The match, which seemed to be heading towards a goalless draw, turned upside down in its final seconds with an iron will that did not surrender to the final whistle. "Al-Ahmar" launched a quick counter-attack, which ended with the ball at Al-Awami's feet inside the area, who powerfully shot it into the left corner, scoring the most precious and difficult goal in the qualifying journey, and igniting widespread joy in the stands of the Yemeni fans. The defense, led by the goalkeepers, expertly repelled successive Bangladesh attacks, keeping their net clean for the second time in a row. With this valuable victory, the Yemeni Olympic team raises its score to a full 6 points at the top of the group, after opening its campaign with a valuable victory over Singapore (2-1), setting the stage for the crucial and fateful match against the host Vietnamese team, the home team with their fans, next Wednesday, September 9.
