Happy with three points. But Nepal is not happy with the performance. Nepal's victory over Saudi Arabia in the U-20 AFC Aiya Cup Qualifiers on Friday remained the same.
The goalless draw seemed certain until the injury time of the second half started. However, at this time, Sukriya Mian, who entered the field as an alternate player, scored a goal. In favor of Nepal, the victory was 1-0.
Coach Yam Prasad Gurung said after the game, "We are happy with three points." The reason is clear, this victory maintained the possibility of qualifying for the U-20 Asia Cup in Thailand. There are total 8 groups in selection. The winner of each group will be selected automatically. There is a provision that the best three teams from the 8 teams that will be in the second place will also be selected for the tournament. This is the possibility of Nepal.
After this win, Nepal has 4 points from 2 games. Now Nepal's third and final match is against powerful North Korea. This team is a three-time World Cup and two-time Asia Cup champion in the U-20 age group. They easily beat Bhutan 10-0 in the expected one-sided fashion in their second match on Friday. Before that, the Korean team also defeated Saudi Arabia 15-0.
In this case, Bhutan is limited to one point, while Saudi Arabia has failed to open the account of points. In this situation, the possibility of Saudi Arabia's selection is over, while Bhutan's is still there. Nepal's performance against Saudi Arabia was not encouraging in any sense. That's why the same coach Gurung said, "I'm not happy with the performance." Why
? The reason for this was in his words, "Our player was playing against Saudi Arabia for the first time in this age group, so it must have been difficult."
He made five changes to the team's starting line-up against Saudi Arabia. In his own words, one reason for this is to prepare for the game against North Korea, and the other is that new players have been given a chance.
