A Patriotic Fan Was Surprised By HH Sheikh Mohammed After Her Tearful Reaction Was Caught On Camera
The moment the UAE scored the second half goal against the Aussies in the Asian AFC Cup will go down in history.
Ali Mabkhout’s 68th-minute goal means the UAE takes a deserved spot in the semi-finals against Qatar on Tuesday, and the atmosphere in the stadium was electric.
The team rushed the pitch and fans in the stadium couldn’t hold back the tears. One fan’s reaction was caught on camera and it grabbed the attention of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Vice President of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.

And one girl’s patriotic reaction got a huge response
A video shows Iraqi Sarah Abdul Rahman Khashman tearfully kiss the UAE during the match. And HH Sheikh Mohammed honoured her celebration by meeting her and presenting her with a signed copy of his newly released book Qissati.
Amazing!
