Afghanistan to Take on Mongolia in Thirst of Another Win


In a what is seen to be a decisive match, Afghanistan is facing a spirited Mongolia today in the Group C of AFC Challenge Cup Qualifiers in Laos. Afghanistan came out victorious after a poor 1-0 victory over Sri Lanka in the opening match, while Mongolia held the host Laos to a precious 1-1 draw in the evening game.

While Afghanistan looks the better side, the Lions of Khursan should be aware of the danger of the Mongolian team. Mongolia has been speedy and dangerous on counterattacks in the match with Laos. In the first match, Afghanistan had issues with the middle field. The middle field could not hold on the ball and did not gave good passes to the opportunistic attackers. One or two changes in the middle field would change the fame for Afghanistan.

Given the fact Mongolian players are short, Afghanistan players can use their height in from of the Mongolian goal. While it is football and hard to predict, Afghanistan has all means to register another win and continue as group leader.


With a win today, Afghanistan will be the prime candidate for qualification from Group C.

The match will start at 13:30 Kabul time and will be aired on Tolo and Lemar TVs. Meanwhile, Laos will take on Sri Lanka at 16:30 Kabul time that is also aired by the same TV channels in Afghanistan and around the world.
