Players to Watch

Odilzhon Abdurakhmanov (Kyrgyz Republic)

The dynamic midfielder was in good form against Saudi Arabia and tried to help his team with his attacking prowess and clinical passes. In a clash that was very one-sided against Saudi, Odilzhon caught the eye with both his off and on the ball movement. He will play a crucial role for Kyrgyz Republic in their upcoming fixture against Oman.

Salaah Al-Yahyaei (Oman)

In Oman’s initial match, the standout performer was Al-Yahyaei, showcasing excellence in both aerial and ground duels with an impressive success rate. Salaah netted Oman’s first goal of the tournament through a penalty but also contributed significantly by delivering key passes. The 25-year-old attacking midfielder was impressive with the ball against Thailand and will surely be a key man in their upcoming battle for qualification.
