The deadlock was broken in the 66th minute after Sultan Al Brake made a surging run on the left and swung in a cross that found Edmilson Junior, who then laid it off for Yusuf Abdurisag to tap home from close range.
Qatar had a chance to make the game safe seven minutes later when they were awarded a penalty but Akram Afif's effort was well saved by Mohammed Aman.

In the end, the miss did not matter as Qatar's defence led by Pedro Miguel and Boualem Khoukhi held firm until the final whistle for their second clean sheet in the tournament and a place in the knockout stage.

Ousmane Camara headed UAE in front on the half-hour mark after he rose highest to thump home Yuri Cesar's cross from the right.

Head coach Dragan Talajic tried to alter things for Bahrain at the start of the second half by introducing Mahdi Abduljabbar and Mahdi Al Humaidan but it was UAE who went further ahead.
Marcus Meloni sent a perfect through ball for Guilherme Bala in the 66th minute, the 25-year-old forward took two touches to get the ball under control before curling past Ebrahim Lutfulla.

A poor pass from Waleed Al Hayam in the 88th minute gifted the ball to Bruno Oliveira, who produced a first-time through ball for Ali Saleh to chip past the advancing Lutfulla to settle the contest.
