Saudi Arabia will look to pick up another win when they face Pakistan on Monday with Chinese Taipei aiming to bounce back with victory over Iraq.
Saudi Arabia got off to a dream start, opening the scoring in the first minute after Abdullah Alaqeeli weaved past two Chinese Taipei markers on the halfway line before squaring for Fahad Muhalhil to slot home.

Chinese Taipei responded with a close range effort from Huang Wei-Lun inside the semi-circle that was thwarted by Saudi Arabia custodian Humood Aldahhan three minutes later.
At the other end, Chiang Hsin-Wei came to his team’s rescue when he made a point-blank save to deny Muhalhil before Farhan Alasmari struck the post in the 14th minute following a quick counter attacking move.

Muhalhil showed his predatory instincts again a minute into the restart, scoring his second to stretch Saudi Arabia’s lead.
Chinese Taipei tried their best to find a foothold in the game but were undone at the back as the West Asian side hit them with more goals.
