Ahmed Al Yahri doubled Yemen’s advantage in the 21st minute, finishing a well-worked move down the left with a composed effort into the bottom-left corner.
Yemen’s high press helped them add a third five minutes later when Farea burst through the middle, rounded Northern Mariana Islands goalkeeper Zuriel Abejo and tapped the ball into the unguarded net.
Abdullah Al Mashdali then played a neat through ball for Farea in the 39th minute with the forward weaving past Abejo before slotting home from close range.
Mohammed Sadeq found the back of the net in added time, finishing from an acute angle before Al Hemyari notched the sixth with a glancing header off a corner.
