The UAE Football Association announced Thursday that it would dismiss Bento's replacement. The UAE said it has decided to dismiss Portuguese national team coach Bento and his engineers.

The UAE had a hard time winning the match against North Korea after hardships. When the goalkeeper kicked out Lima's attempt at the fifth minute in the first half, she scored the first goal with a left-footed shot from the left side of the penalty area.
