On a high after an impressive 1-1 draw against a fancied Oman, India is pitted against the formidable United Arab Emirates in its second football friendly here on Monday, with head coach Igor Stimac again set to experiment with a fresh set of rookies. Ten players made their debut against Oman on Thursday as India made a fine comeback in the second half to hold the gulf side, which is 23 places above it in the FIFA charts. Oman completely dominated the first half with the Indians not being able to hold the ball for any length of time.
