The striker, who will lead Oman’s charge at the AFC U17 Asian Cup™ Saudi Arabia 2025, was introduced to the game by his father, who coincidentally played for Nizwa FC, the same Oman First Division League club Al Rashdi represents.

First half strikes from Mohammed Al Raawi and Mohammed Al Garash ensured the West Asian side took the three points and they will look to ride on their momentum when they face Indonesia - who defeated Korea Republic 1-0 in the earlier match - on Monday.

Victory for Japan against Vietnam - who drew 1-1 with Australia in the earlier match - on Monday will almost surely guarantee them a quarter-final berth and a spot at the FIFA U-17 World Cup Qatar 2025, while UAE need a result against Australia.

Quinn Macnicol opened the scoring for Australia late in the first half but Vietnam bounced back in the second half with Hoang Trong Duy Khang’s strike ensuring a share of the spoils.

Indonesia will aim for another three points against Yemen on Monday while Korea Republic will have to defeat Afghanistan to revive their hopes, with the top two teams from the group to qualify for the quarter-finals and FIFA U-17 World Cup Qatar 2025.
