WATCH extended 2021 FIFA Arab Cup daily highlights from December 1-19 via SBS On Demand, plus LIVE, FREE and EXCLUSIVE coverage of the semi-finals and final on SBS and SBS On Demand from December 16.

Qatar 5-0 United Arab Emirates

Ali Salmeen's own goal inside the opening 10 minutes helped Qatar to an early lead in Al Khor, and by half-time, it grew to as much as five.

An Almoez Ali double either side of goals from Boualem Khoukhi and Abdulaziz Hatem created a mountain far too steep for the UAE to climb and a party atmosphere inside Al Bayt Stadium.

The hosts will now face either Morocco or Algeria in the semi-finals and that match will air LIVE on SBS and SBS On Demand this Thursday, December 16.

Tunisia 2-1 Oman

The Carthage Eagles booked their place in the semi-finals with a hard-earned 2-1 victory over Oman at Education City Stadium.

Seifeddine Jaziri continued his rich run of form with the opening goal in the 16th minute and it wasn't until the 66th that Oman conjured up a response.

Arshad Al-Alawi's long-range strike restored parity in stunning fashion, but not before Youssef Msakni edged Tunisia back in front some three minutes later.

Tunisia will now face either Egypt or Jordan in the semi-finals and that match will air LIVE on SBS and SBS On Demand this Thursday, December 16.
