Portugal have secured a spot in the Beach Soccer World Cup quarter-finals in the Bahamas, courtesy of a 2-1 win against the United Arab Emirates.

Mário Narciso's team, which includes the Alvalade stars Tiago Petrony, Rui Coimbra and Madjer, took the lead in the second period through Belchior, before the UAE levelled 52 seconds from regulation time through their goalkeeper, Ali Karim. However, the Portuguese rallied in extra-time and Bruno Novo secured the final result with two minutes left.
