Kuwait beats UAE 3-2 in nervy match

Yousef Naser scored a brace to lead Kuwait to a nervy but crucial 3-2 away win over Group B rivals United Arab Emirates Friday.

Naser opened the scoring in the seventh minute and Bader Al Mutawaa made it 2-0 in the 51st, before Naser made the most of a defensive blunder to put Kuwait in complete control in the 65th.

A goal in the 84th by Ismail Al Hammadi and another by Ahmad Khalil in the 89th made it a nervy finish for the visitors, who had been dominant for most of the match.

UAE's Slovenian coach Srecko Katanec was subjected to chants calling for his dismissal from the home crowd.

South Korea and Lebanon are the other two teams in Group B.
