Group F Matchday 2 of AFC Asian Cup 2023 will get underway in Al Rayyan as Kyrgyzstan and Saudi Arabia will square off at the Ahmed bin Ali Stadium on Friday (January 19).

The Saudis emerged victorious over Oman, coming back from a 2-1 deficit, while the White Falcons started this season with a 2-0 loss against Thailand. On the first day of the match, Kyrgyzstan's tardiness paid them dearly as they gave up the lead after 26 minutes and were forced to chase Thailand for a significant chunk of the game.

On the first day of the match, Kyrgyzstan's tardiness paid them dearly as they gave up the lead after 26 minutes and were forced to chase Thailand for a significant chunk of the game.

Though it's not the start they were hoping for, Kyrgyzstan can learn a lot from their experience in the 2019 Asian Cup, when they advanced to the knockout stage despite losing their first two group matches. But if they lose this weekend and Thailand wins or draws, their only chance of moving on would be to finish in third place, where there are four berths up for grabs.

They are participating in their second tournament, but their defensive woes persist; in all three Asian Cup games, they have given up several strikes. While Kyrgyzstan has never lost in regular time when scoring more than one goal in a single game, they have lost all of their Asian Cup matches in which they have given up the first goal.

After trailing 1-0 to a penalty in the 14th minute, Roberto Mancini's team earned all three points and put Oman on the defensive.

The victory extended the Green Falcons' winning streak across all competitions to six games and put a stop to their two-game losing and goalless streak in this tournament Although the Saudis are always considered among the favorites to win this tournament, they have not consistently advanced past the group stage since making the final in each tournament from 1984 to 2000.
