BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN -- Three goals in the last eight minutes gave Yemen a comfortable 5-0 away win over Brunei on Saturday in their Asian zone World Cup qualifier.

Substitute Ali Mohammed struck twice in the last four minutes to seal Yemen's victory in the opening game in group eight, which also includes India and the United Arab Emirates.

Anwar Mutahr gave Yemen the lead after just eight minutes and, seven minutes after the restart, Adel Abdullah doubled his side's advantage.

Ali Aboud claimed the third eight minutes from time before Mohammed's double put the result beyond doubt.
