(PLO)- On the evening of March 8, Tajikistan played something like a “Korean specialty” that made South Korea humble, but the Central Asian team also had to say goodbye…
Unexpectedly, the Central Asian team Tajikistan played the “specialty” of Korea fluently, confusing the young Korean team.
Before the final match, Tajikistan finished third with three points, the same point as the second team Jordan, but Tajikistan lost by extra difference. Therefore, Tajikistan “fights to the last breath” and at the same time prays for a match at the same time between Jordan and Oman. Specifically, Oman prevented Joran from winning for Oman’s own honor despite running out of opportunities.

Tajikistan plays the official football “specialty” of kimchi to confront the young Korean team, which is the direct ball phase with very fierce shoes and plays without fear of collision.
This sometimes makes Korean players slack because they need to keep and avoid injuries. Korea only needs to draw to maintain the top position, and at the same time, it is very important to avoid Japan in the quarterfinals.

Tajikistan actively plays dry football that makes Korean players less daring to keep the ball because of fear of injury.
A good and dramatic game but unfortunately no goals were scored.
On the other hand, Tajikistan also “fights to the end” if there is no victory, then there is a draw, then if Oman for the sake of honor defeating Jordan, Tajikistan itself will enter the quarterfinals.

Korea had a chance, and then Tajikistan also had many clear opportunities, but the strikers of the two teams could not find their way into each other’s net.
With extremely high determination and fierce play with very harsh “kickbacks” from Tajikistani players, it makes it difficult for Korea, which is also very fond of playing this fiery football. Korea is somewhat humbled by the strong and fierce play of Tajikistan and they only need to draw 7 points to maintain the first place in Group C. Korea did that when the match was goalless.
In the match at the same time in Group C, Oman only managed to draw Jordan without scoring, they completed the task of “helping” Tajikistan. The “error” was that in Tajikistan, they couldn’t beat Korea to advance.
Thus, the final order of Group C: 1- Korea (7 points), 2-Jordan (4 points, difference 2/2),3- Tajikistan (4 points, difference 1/2),4- Oman ( 1 point).
On March 9, the last match of the group stage of the tournament, it was the third match of Group D at 19:00: Japan-Saudi Arabia, China-Kyrgyzstan.
Thus, six teams have entered the quarterfinals: Uzbekistan, Iraq (group A), Iran, Australia (group B), Korea, Jordan (group C).
