Qualifiers - Group I: Lebanon edge Cambodia; Tajikistan, Singapore share spoils
Dushanbe: Lebanon beat Cambodia 1-0 in Group I of the AFC U20 Asian Cup™ Uzbekistan 2023 Qualifiers, while Tajikistan and Singapore played to a goalless draw on Wednesday.  
Mohamad Sadek’s goal at the Republican Central Stadium was enough for Lebanon to secure a winning start and an early advantage in the race to qualify for the Finals.

Cambodia 0-1 Lebanon

Lebanon took the lead with skipper Sadek beating goalkeeper Vireak Dara in the ninth minute. 

Cambodia stabilised after conceding the early goal, but despite making numerous changes to their midfield, the Southeast Asian team were unable to find the equaliser.

Tajikistan 0-0 Singapore

Tajikistan had high hopes coming into the Qualifiers with home support at the Republican Central Stadium but found Singapore a stubborn and resilient side.

The hosts dominated but despite their best efforts, a goal eluded them as they had to settle for a share of the points. 
Tajikistan will be hoping for a better outcome when they play Lebanon on Friday, while Singapore will aim for their own win against Cambodia.
