Towards the end of the game, Kuwait’s Muath Al-Enezi struck the decisive blow, scoring in the 89th minute to seal the win.
With the result, UAE remains on 1 point, and their hopes for reaching the semifinals now hinge on the outcome of the final round.
The group stage concludes next Friday with UAE facing Oman at Jaber Al-Mubarak Stadium, while Kuwait will take on Qatar at Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium.
