The ongoing AFC Women's Asia Cup qualifiers in Tashkent, Uzbekistan have reached an exciting and sensational turn. In Group F, Nepal and the host country Uzbekistan are in exactly the same position. In this case, a penalty shootout may also be needed to decide the group winner.

On the second day of the group on Wednesday, Nepal defeated Sri Lanka 8-0. Similarly, Uzbekistan won 7-0 over Laos. Before that, Nepal defeated Sri Lanka 9-0 and Uzbekistan defeated Sri Lanka 10-0. In this position, Nepal and Uzbekistan are on the same six points.

Laos and Sri Lanka are on zero points after losing their second match in a row. They are out of the competition. Laos will face Sri Lanka in the final qualifying match on Saturday. This will be a prestige game only. The game that will attract everyone's attention will be the match between Nepal and Uzbekistan.

Nepal and Uzbekistan have scored 17-17 goals and both have not conceded any goals yet. The team that wins the match between these two teams will qualify for the Women's Asia Cup in Australia next year. If this match is equal, according to the rules of the competition, if all other positions are equal, this match will be directly tied.  Photo: NSJF
