Kathmandu: After conceding 15 goals in their opening match against Tajikistan, Bhutan yet again conceded 14 to table toppers Afghanistan in the AFC U-14 Championship 2014 Group C qualifiers on Thursday.
In their 14-0 win over Bhutan at the Dashrath Stadium, the Afghans’ captain Abdul Naser smashed four goals. Omid Haider and substitute Elyas Amiri notched a brace each while Amanullah Qazi, Murtaza Qambari, Ahmad Mubasher and Mujtabaa Rezaie also registered their name in the scoresheet.
Afghanistan currently top the four-team table with maximum six points after beating hosts Nepal and Bhutan. However, they are not yet through with their vital tie against second-placed Tajikistan, who were held by Nepal 1-1 on the same day, coming on Saturday.
A draw is enough for Afghanistan to progress in the next year’s tournament proper but a defeat means Tajikistan finish at the top of Group C.
