UAE came into this match on the back of a 6-2 defeat at the hands of Saudi Arabia. Prior to that, they had absolutely annihilated Bangladesh 6-1. While the win against India bodes well for games to come, the coach and fans will be hoping for more consistency from the players.
During the game, there were moments of brilliance followed by large periods of mediocrity. With games against Iran and Saudi Arabia to follow, UAE will have to be at their best to get out of their group.

After a brief and undistinguished stint as an electrical engineer, Arvind discovered his true calling was churning out hyperbolic prose about athletes he had never met.
A writer and editor with close to a decade’s experience, Arvind’s work has been published on Sky Sports, the BBC, the Guardian and other leading websites. He has attended multiple Grand Slams on the ground and provided coverage for Super Bowls and the NBA playoffs.
As a lifelong fan of Arsenal and the Indianapolis Colts, he has mastered the art of managing expectations and can convince anyone that finishing fourth is a moral victory.
When not armchair quarterbacking, Arvind spends his time playing blitz chess online, watching air crash documentaries and smashing controllers after his latest Weekend League defeat.
