Amanbaev, however, admitted he was frustrated after Kyrgyz Republic lost for the second time in Group A on Thursday, which meant elimination as well as not being able to at least match their quarter-final appearance of 2024.
“We are very disappointed. We came here expecting a different result. This is not good for us. We came to Indonesia only to win. We came aiming for victories and to try to finish in first place in the group.”
Amanbaev and company have an opportunity to end their campaign with a win when they take on Korea Republic in their concluding fixture on Saturday.
