Abu Dhabi: The UAE under-19 soccer team succumbed to another loss in the four-nation friendly tournament on Tuesday night.
Close on the heels of the 2-1 defeat at the hands of Uzbekistan, the UAE were beaten 2-0 loss by Morocco.
The defeat would have certainly left UAE coach Khalid Bin Yahia a worried man ahead of the Asian qualifiers later this month.
For Morocco, it was a morale-boosting win after their 2-1 loss to Saudi Arabia in the opening match.
Bilal Bayat stunned the UAE with a 87th minute strike and later converted an injury time penalty to complete a comprehensive win over the hosts.
Saudi Arabia win
Earlier in the evening, Saudi Arabia managed a second successive win and look set to win the four-nation event.
The Saudis beat Uzbekistan 2-0 after a barren first half. Mohammad Abu Shaban, who converted a penalty in the first match against Morocco, scored a fine goal and later Yahya Al Shuhairy completed the 2-0 win.
In today's final group matches, Morocco take on Uzbekistan at 5.15 pm while UAE meet Saudi Arabia at 7.15 pm.
