Dammam: Saudi Arabia had to dig deep to beat Yemen 2-1 to qualify for the AFC U-19 Championship 2018 in a Group D tie at the Prince Mohd Fahad Stadium on Wednesday.
Yemen took the early lead in the third minute through Saqr Ebrahim Al-Harbi and they held on to their slim lead till half time.
For the most part of the second half, Yemen managed to keep Khaled Abdullah Mohammed's men at bay but Hamed Abdullah Alghamdi had other ideas.
Alghamdi's equaliser in the 86th minute gave Saudi Arabia a confidence booster and they chased for the winner.
Their determination paid off as Mohammed Mali scored two minutes into added-on time for the win and a spot in the Finals in Indonesia.
