2024 AFC U-23 Asian Cup Qualifiers: Qatar Defeat Kyrgyzstan, Lead Group Ranking


The Qatari team defeated the Kyrgyzstan team 1-0 in its final match of the group stage of the 2024 AFC U-23 Asian Cup.



The match took place Tuesday at the Changwon Stadium in South Korea.



The matches of the Qatari team will not be considered when calculating the group ranking since the team already qualified for the final tournament as the host country.



Elyas Hamid Barimil contributed heavily to the team’s third consecutive win after scoring the winning goal in the 51st minute.



With this win, Qatar leads its group ranking with 9 points, while the South Korean team has 3 points and both Myanmar and Kyrgyzstan have 1 point.



The Qatari team won its previous two matches against the host of the group’s matches and the 2020 champion South Korea 2-0, and against Myanmar 6-0.
