The UAE secured their second straight win in the FIFA Arab Cup on Friday after defeating Mauritania 1-0 at Ras Abu Aboud Stadium in Doha.

Khalil Al Hamadi's last-gasp goal in the third minute of injury time sent the Whites closer to booking a spot in the knockout phase.

The victory over Mauritania leaves the UAE on six points and in a comfortable position ahead of the clash with Tunisia.
