Bahrain took pole position in Group C of the Asian Qualifiers for the Fifa World Cup 2022 and AFC Asian Cup 2023 after beating Cambodia 8-0 at Bahrain National Stadium last night.
The victory took Bahrain to 12 points, one ahead of Iraq who have a match in hand with Iran up next for Helio Sousa’s side on Monday. Iran defeated Hong Kong 3-1 in their match to move to nine points.
Bahrain hit the ground running at the Bahrain National Stadium as Komail Al Aswad had a glimpse at goal just two minutes in when he intercepted a pass by Cambodia goalkeeper Keo Soksela but his long range attempt missed the mark by mere centimetres.
