ABU DHABI: Qatar beat hosts United Arab Emirates 4-0 to reach the final of the Asian Cup in a game that witnessed UAE fans throwing shoes at opposition players, reports BBC.com. The home fans threw bottles and sandals as Qatar players celebrated their goals during the game in Abu Dhabi.

The Qatar national anthem was also loudly booed by home fans amid political tensions between the nations. Qatar has been cut off by some of its Arab neighbours, including the UAE, over its alleged support for terrorism. “It wasn’t an easy situation,” said Qatar coach Felix Sanchez. “The players were aware there was going to be a lot of pressure but they managed their emotions quite well. I’m very proud of them.
