Saudi Arabia head coach Mario da Silva will not tolerate any complacency from his charges as he expects to top the group.

"Uzbekistan in the next round, they have the same number of points, but they are ahead of us by one goal,” said da Silva.

“Therefore, we will fight to achieve victory and secure our position at the top of the group. Our main goal is to compete for the title, now that we have achieved our first goal of securing qualification for the World Cup."

Uzbekistan head coach Islombek Ismoilov also has no intention of pulling the brakes on his players even though they only need a draw to finish top. 

“I cannot say if I will start with the same team as some players have minor injuries,” said Ismoilov. “But I want to win every game. 

“I do not want to save energy for the next game, or play for a draw. I am here to win against Saudi Arabia.”
