In the second half, the Bahraini national team tried to reduce the deficit, and Ali Jaafar Madan managed to score the second goal in the 67th minute, making the score 4-2 and bringing some excitement back to the encounter.
However, the Yemeni national team maintained its focus until the final minutes, and Rami Al-Wassmani succeeded in adding his second personal goal and the fifth for his country during stoppage time, confirming the great victory with a score of 5-2.
With this victory, the Yemeni national team collected 3 points, ending the group stage in third place in Group B, after losing to the UAE by four clean goals and then to Qatar by one goal to nil, bidding farewell to the championship with a great moral victory.
