This is it.
India take on UAE (international football friendly) at the Zabeel Stadium in Dubai tonight for what is, for now, their final preparatory match before the World Cup qualifiers against Qatar, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. While Igor Stimac will invariably make a few changes to the side that started against Oman, it will be a good test of India's bench strength, especially the young lads who have all done well in this season's Indian Super League (ISL).
Join us on our India vs UAE Football LIVE Blog for tonight's game and stay updated on all the action.
Kick-off is at 8.30.

GOAL, HATTRICK!
60' Hattrick for Ali Mabkhout. A long throw finds the UAE star with acres of space in front of goal as Adil Khan fails to clear, mistimes his jump completely. The striker does no mistake and slots it in. Doesn't even celebrate his hattrick, it's that simple for him.

CHANCE MISSED BY UAE!
54' De Lima rises the highest to meet the delivery from the corner but his header is just wide. Akash Mishra should really have done better with his marking.

Subs in, Halicharan and Yasir
47' Stimac has made a few changes here. Halicharan and Yasir come on for India to replace Chhangte and Thapa.

2nd half underway!
46' UAE get the 2nd half underway, they play the ball back to their defence to build from the back. India needs to press higher up the pitch with much more intensity if they are to make a comeback here.
