With this victory, Yemen achieved a historic milestone by scoring five goals in a single match for the first time in its Gulf Cup history.

Bahrain opened the scoring early due to a defensive error by Rami Al-Wasmani, who gifted the ball to Ali Al-Dosari. He broke free from goalkeeper Mohammed Aman and placed it into the empty net in the 6th minute. However, Yemen responded strongly, scoring four consecutive goals before the end of the first half.

Nasser Mohammed equalized after a long pass from Adel Abbas, then Abdulwas'ee Al-Matari added the second goal from a corner taken by Abbas. Abbas then provided a precise pass to Rami Al-Wasmani, who scored the third, and Abbas capped off his performance with a fourth goal in the 44th minute.

In the second half, Ali Maden reduced the deficit for Bahrain after a pass from Mohammed Marhoon, but Al-Wasmani returned to score Yemen's fifth goal in stoppage time after another assist from Abbas.

Despite the win, Yemen exited the tournament alongside Bahrain, finishing third in the group with 3 points, while Bahrain left without any points.

Bahrain had lost its first match against Qatar 0-2, then suffered a defeat against the UAE 0-3, while Yemen lost to the UAE 0-4 and Qatar 0-1.
