MANAMA, Bahrain: Oscar Cano is going to waste any time. The Qatar coach was thrilled to see his team beat Yemen in a 2016 AFC U-19 Asian Cup match on Monday and now he is already kicking preparations for the team's next match against Japan on October 20. "Our focus is on the Japan game. That's going to be our most important game in this tournament so far," Cano said. On Monday, Qatar beat Yemen 1-0 after Abdulrasheed Umari scored the only goal of the match in the 83rd minute at Bahrain National Stadium. Cano applauded Yemen's resilience in the Group C clash. "We want to congratulate Yemen. We couldn't play our usual style of football and didn't feel comfortable throughout," Cano said. "As the game went by, the only way to win was to be brave and be aggressive. We knew a single run from one of our players could change things and that's what happened," he said. "We've had lots of bad luck in the past with injuries and also in the last match against Iran, so perhaps this is football giving some of the luck back, luck that Yemen didn't have. The important thing is we're still in it going into the last day of matches." Yemen coach Mohammed Al Nufiay said: "My team did their best today. We had the better chances and we were close to winning but we made a few mistakes." He added: "We were full of confidence going into this game and we tried our best. We changed out gameplan in the second half and tried hard but it was not to be."
