Tiraspol: Eugen Sidorenco scored a goal in each half as AFC Challenge Cup 2014 qualifiers Kyrgyzstan were defeated 2-1 by Moldova in an international friendly.
Sidorenco found the net in the 30th and 78th minutes with Kyrgyzstan’s Vadim Kharchenko sandwiching the FC Nazareth Illit attacker’s brace shortly before the hour mark.
Kharchenko’s 58th minute effort was the Dordoi midfielder’s second in succession against European opposition following his equaliser in Kyrgyzstan’s 1-1 draw with Estonia last week.
Kyrgyzstan booked their place in next year’s AFC Challenge Cup finals in the Maldives by topping Group B with a 100% record as naturalised Ghanaian striker David Tetteh scored the only goal in 1-0 victories over Macau, Pakistan and Tajikistan.
