The Qatari U16 football team shared a 1-1 draw equal points with Yemen in Group E of the AFC U-16 Championship 2020 Qualifiers on Friday.
Qatar had the advantage of playing at home but Yemen, confidence boosted by their 10-1 win over Bhutan in their opener, were not overawed by their opponents.
A tight first half ended goalless but Qatar eventually opened the scoring with Mohammed Salem Al Quraishi converting a penalty in the 58th minute.
Yemen's determination, however, was rewarded in the 77th minute when Hasan Mohammed Al Kwamani fired home the equaliser.
Qatar are currently ranked 2nd in their group along with Yemen, Bangladesh and Bhutan. Qatar will face Bhutan on Sunday.
