The UAE's hopes of qualifying for the FIFA World Cup in Qatar ended after losing to Australia in a must-win play-off encounter on Tuesday.
The match in Doha ended 2-1 with Australia scoring the winner in the 84th minute.
Jackson Irvine gave the Socceroos the lead with a close-range finish in the 53rd minute but Caio Canedo levelled four minutes later with a stunning strike.
The match was settled late in the second half when Ajdin Hrustic volleyed Aaron Mooy's corner towards goal and the deflection off UAE midfielder Ali Salmeen proved decisive.
