Players to Watch

Pablo Sabbag (Syria)

He is a top-quality player who is capable of making a difference on the pitch, he is someone who is threatening in the counter-attacks as he can get into spaces and make things difficult for the opposition defenders.

He is physically strong can win duels and does not give away possession very easily on the pitch. Sabbag can carry the ball and he has got decent pace in him and is capable of scoring goals with his weaker foot.

Lindsay Rose (Mauritius)

He was the man of the match against India and he performed extremely well, he was rock solid in defence and helped his team to get a draw against the home team. Against Syria as well fans can expect him to perform at a similar level.

Even though against Syria the job will be more difficult but he is an experienced player who is capable of leading his team to glory.
