Italy 0-0 United Arab Emirates (PSO 1-3)
Player of the Match: Humaid Jamal (UAE)

A FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup™ game finished without goals for the first time, with United Arab Emirates emerging as 3-1 winners on penalties.

This tense Group A decider saw goals disallowed, crossbars struck and wonder saves made, but not a goal scored for the first time in the tournament’s 19-year history.

Spot-kicks would eventually decide the affair, with Player of the Match Jamal Humaid saving three out of four Italian penalties. Italy, however, still topped the group thanks to their superior goal difference over the hosts, who also progress to the quarter-finals.
