Oman 2-1 Turkmenistan
Oman went into the game level on points with Uzbekistan and despite their 2-1 win against Turkmenistan, missed out on a place in the final due to an inferior goal difference.

The West Asian were handed the lead in the 16th minute after Rustem Ahallyyev inadvertently put the ball into his own net.

Turkmenistan bounced back to draw level six minutes into the second half through Arzuvguly Sapargulyyev but Muhsen Alghassani’s goal in stoppage time ensured maximum points for Oman.

Oman will next face India in the third place playoff on Monday.

Uzbekistan 4-0 Kyrgyz Republic
In front of their fans, Uzbekistan went on the offensive and got their breakthrough in the 21st minute when Akmal Mozgovoy beat the offside trap to slot home.

Kyrgyz Republic were able to keep Uzbekistan at bay until the 67th minute when Otabek Shukurov converted his penalty to edge his team further ahead.

Igor Sergeev made it 3-0 in the 82nd minute with a thumping header off Shukurov’s cross from the left before Azizbek Turg’unboev put the seal on an impressive Uzbekistan performance in stoppage time.

The final against Iran will be a repeat of the inaugural edition in 2023 where Uzbekistan lost to a solitary goal from Sardar Azmoun with Timur Kapadze’s side determined to go one better this time.
