The National's Sport cover for the Saturday, September 27 issue, features jubilant UAE Under-23 footballers, who stayed on course to reprise their Asian Games medal-winning performance of four years ago when they registered a 3-1 win on Friday over Vietnam in Incheon, South Korea.
Saeed Al Kathiri gave them a first-half lead and Saeed Al Meqbaali doubled it just after the hour. Vietnam pulled one back through Nguyen Ho Nong before Bandar Al Ahbabi fired the third in added time for the UAE to reach the quarter-finals on Sunday against North Korea, a 4-1 winner over Indonesia.
In 2010, the UAE took the silver medal in China.

Six pitfalls to avoid when trading company stocks
Following fashion
Investing is cyclical, buying last year's winners often means holding this year's losers.
Losing your balance
You end up with too much exposure to an individual company or sector that has taken your fancy.
Being over active
If you chop and change your portfolio too often, dealing charges will eat up your gains.
Running your losers
Investors hate admitting mistakes and hold onto bad stocks hoping they will come good.
Selling in a panic
If you sell up when the market drops, you have locked yourself out of the recovery.
Timing the market
Even the best investor in the world cannot consistently call market movements.
