The UAE beat nine-man India 3-0 in the first leg of their World Cup qualifier in Al Ain on Saturday.
India went a man down when defender Debabrata Roy was seant off in the 19th minute. Things only got worse for India two minutes later, when Hamdan Al Kamali scored a penalty that resulted in goalkeeper Subrata Pal getting a red card.
The UAE doubled its advantage just before the half-hour mark with another penalty. This time, it was Mohamed Al Shehhi who successfully converted the spot kick.
But even with the two-man advantage, the UAE was made to work by the Indian squad. It only managed to score a third goal eight minutes from time when Ismail Al Hammadi made it 3-0.
