Both teams came into the tie searching for their first win and it was Indonesia who had the first sight on goal with Yemen keeper Osamah Mokref called into action in the eighth minute to deflect Marselinus Ola’s shot over the bar.

Yemen threatened two minutes later with Adel Qasem seeing his shot from distance foiled by Indonesia keeper Fitrah Maulana, who then had to be on his toes to deny the Yemen midfielder twice after the half-hour mark.

The West Asian side came close again with Qasem angling his header just wide off the right post just before going into the break.

Yemen kept the pressure on Indonesia in the second half with Abdulrahman Al Khadher seeing his header from inside the area saved while at the other end, Marselinus Ola was first denied from inside the box before having his shot from distance foiled.
