Uzbekistan put Bahrain's defence under early pressure with efforts from Saidumarkhon Saidnurullayev and Lazizbek Mirzaev, but both failed to get their attempts on target despite firing from close range.

Bahrain keeper Ashraf Mubarak was at his best in the 23rd minute to deny Ravshan Khayrullaev but could do little three minutes later when Dilshod Abdullaev looped a header over him to put Uzbekistan ahead.

The Central Asian side continued to control the game and could have added to their lead on the half hour mark after Muhammadali Urinboev's free-kick found Mirzaev but Mubarak dived to his right to push the ball away.

There was to be no respite for Bahrain after the interval with Uzbekistan dominating proceedings and creating chance after chance.

Bahrain were left to rue their poor defending in the 61st minute when they scuffed two clearance attempts following a Daler Tukhsanov cross, allowing Urinboev to hammer home from close range.

The West Asian side's woes were further compounded five minutes later when Mubarak was shown a straight red after he fouled Nurlan Ibraimov outside the penalty box.

With a one-man advantage, Uzbekistan capped their fourth win with Ibraimov scoring in the 80th and 86th minutes and Tukhsanov adding the fifth in the 89th minute which also meant that Bahrain have no chance of qualifying after ending their campaign in third spot behind Cambodia.

An exciting first half saw Chinese Taipei take the lead in the 10th minute, Chen Kuan-Lin on the follow-up after Yang Chao-Jing's shot was blocked by Chongmieng Ron. 

Cambodia equalised in the 37th minute through Eav Sovannara, who headed in Lucca Thong Lim's corner kick.

Both sides gave it their all in search of a winner in the second half but had to settle for a share of the points.
