BASRA: Kuwait national team achieved on Tuesday a "precious" 1-0 victory over UAE in a second group match of the Arabian Gulf Cup (Khaleeji Zain 25) to remain in contention to advance to the next stage. Kuwaiti player Ahmed Al-Dhafiri snatched the winning goal in stoppage time of the match in the 93rd minute through a direct free kick that surprised UAE goalkeeper Khaled Issa. The Blues compensated for losing in the first round against Qatar to win their first three points in the tournament, while UAE remain without points in last place. – KUNA
