W460

Lebanon conceded a late own goal to draw 2-2 with Kuwait in third-round Asian qualifying for the 2014 World Cup on Tuesday.

Lebanon started well when Hassan Maatouk scored after 15 minutes at the Sports City Stadium only for Kuwait's Musaed Neda to level in the 50th minute.

The hosts took the lead again in the 86th after being awarded a penalty, which Maatouk converted for his second goal.

But Mahmoud Younes allowed the Kuwaitis to come away with a point after scoring into his own net only two minutes later.

South Korea beat United Arab Emirates 2-1 to move top of Group B with seven points. Kuwait is second with five points and Lebanon has four points. UAE is winless through three games to sit last.
