Colombo: Turkmenistan head coach Ante Miše believes his side will fight alongside DPR Korea and Lebanon for second place in Group H, after they began their FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 and AFC Asian Cup China 2023 Asian Qualifiers campaign with a 2-0 win against Sri Lanka on Thursday.
Miše’s men prevailed comfortably at Colombo Race Course Ground, with FC Dordoi’s Vahyt Orazshedov and PFC Lokomotiv’s Arslan Amanov scoring either side of half-time to complete a satisfactory first step on the Road to Qatar and China PR.
While Miše believes Korea Republic, Turkmenistan’s next opponents, stand out as the strongest team in the group, the Croatian boss sees no reason why his side cannot finish this stage of the competition in second place, opening up the possibility of advancing to the Third Round of FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 qualification as one of the four best placed runners-up.
