Saudi Arabia’s 4-0 win over South Korea not enough for 2022 AFC Futsal Asian Cup progress

A comprehensive 4-0 win by Saudi Arabia over South Korea on Sunday night was still not enough to see the Green Falcons progress to the last eight of the 2022 AFC Futsal Asian Cup taking place at the Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Hall in Kuwait.

The day’s other match in Group D saw Japan beat Vietnam 2-0.

The Green Falcons’ win in the final group fixture means they end their campaign with six points from nine, the same tally as Japan and Vietnam. However, Saudi finished third in the standings on goal difference.

Saudi Arabia had lost 3-1 to Vietnam in their second match of tournament on Friday when a win would have ensured progress from Group D to the quarterfinals, after they had launched their campaign on Monday with a 2-1 win over Japan.

The 16-team tournament kicked off on Sept. 27 and will conclude on Oct. 8.
