Russia 2018/UAE 2019 Qualifiers: Yemen 0-4 Bahrain

Doha: A strong second-half performance saw Bahrain defeat Yemen 4-0 and pick up their first three points of the 2018 FIFA World Cup/2019 AFC Asian Cup joint-qualifiers as the two Group H basement dwellers met at the Grand Hamad Stadium on Tuesday.

Bahrain made the short trip across the Gulf to neighbouring Qatar - where Yemen are playing their home matches due to the current security situation in the country - looking to pick up their first points of a disappointing campaign that saw Sergio Batista’s side lose to the Philippines (2-1) and DPR Korea (1-0) in their first two matches, while Yemen had also to yet get off the mark having lost at ‘home’ to the DPR Korea (3-0) and the Philippines (2-0) as well as to Uzbekistan (1-0) on the road.
