Before beginning the Group-E round in the AFC Under-17 Asian Cup Qualifiers 2023, Yemen's skipper said they wanted to bring joy at home winnings the matches and now, the team had begin the mission with a 8-0 win over Bhutan in the opening match on Wednesday at Bir Shrestha Shaheed Sepoy Mustafa Kamal Stadium at Kamalapur in Dhaka.

The people in war-torn Yemen are going through a geopolitical crisis right now. They found less of a chance for joy for a while now.

Yemen found its third goal in the 22nd minute when striker Mohammed Khaled Moqbel headed on a cross of striker Abdulrahman Abdullah to shake the bar.
Striker Abdulrahman Al-Khadher Abdulnabi netted the fourth goal of the match in the 40th minute as he headed on a cross of striker Abdulrahman Abdullah.
Defender Mohammed Wahib Noman who assisted during the first goal curled a free-kick to fire the post and score the team's fifth goal.
Yemen went for the breather with a 5-0 lead.
In the second half, Yemen booters fired up once again in the 61st minute. Striker Abdulrahman Al-Khadher Abdulnabi entered from the right wing before taking a cross which bounced on the right sidebar and substitute striker Mohammed Ameer Albrwany placed the ball onto the near post.
The seventh goal was scored in the 74th minute, a volley of midfielder Anwar Hussein Al-Turaiqi found the net after he received the ball from substitute midfielder Mohammed Adel Al-Gumael.
