The Asian AFC is well underway in stadiums across the UAE and Monday’s match is one we won’t forget for some time.

After a goal from the UAE side four minutes in, it turned into a hard earned, well deserved win with hosts UAE beating Kyrgyz Republic in a nail-biting 3-2 finish, that takes us from the final 16 into the quarters and none other HH Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces was there for every second of it.

Spotted among the proud UAE supporters, Abu Dhabi’s Crown Prince was cheering on the home team to the very end, what a sight.
