Afghanistan secured their place at the Finals for the third consecutive edition - but not before being given a scare by Bangladesh - as they finished top of Group B with maximum points.

Bangladesh went ahead after only six minutes through Mithu Chowdhury with Yaser Safi (30th) equalising for Afghanistan but Mursed Ali’s strike in added time gave the South Asians the lead at the break.

Afghanistan produced a storming second half to overturn the score with goals from Milad Noori (64th) and Arash Ahmadi (70th) to win their fourth straight match and book their ticket to the Finals. 

Cambodia had to win to stand a chance of qualifying as one of the best five runners-up while Philippines were already eliminated.

Still, Philippines performed better with Spencer Webster opening the score in the fourth minute before adding his second in the 43rd minute to seal the win.
