Both teams will be playing for pride after back-to-back defeats to Australia and China PR prematurely ended their interest in the tournament.
Puchkov wants his Kyrgyz Republic side to go out on a high and despite the disappointment of the 5-2 loss to China PR on Saturday, is determined to end with a win.
“I’m very disappointed with the result from the previous match,” said Puchkov. “We will keep our style of play against Qatar. They are a formidable side."
