In this AFC Asian Cup Qualification match, Myanmar clinched a narrow victory over Afghanistan with a 2-1 scoreline. Despite falling behind early on, Myanmar demonstrated resilience by equalizing swiftly and securing a second-half winner. The early goal scored by Afghanistan at 13 minutes displayed their initial attacking prowess, however, it also set the stage for Myanmar’s determined comeback later in the match.

A critical aspect of this match was Myanmar's efficient utilization of limited goal-scoring opportunities. Despite having fewer corner kicks (2 compared to Afghanistan's 4) and being called offside twice, their clinical finishing saw them converting their limited shots on target into goals. Afghanistan, although creating more set-piece opportunities through corners, was less effective in front of the goal, highlighting a shortfall in converting offensive pressure into tangible results.

Disciplinary issues plagued Afghanistan and significantly hampered their performance during critical moments. Accumulating four yellow cards, including two in the early stages, may have disrupted their tactical approach and forced them to play more cautiously. Myanmar, on the other hand, maintained a slightly better disciplinary record with just one yellow card and made the most of their cohesive play. Myanmar's ability to maintain composure while exploiting Afghanistan's aggressive play was a key factor in their eventual victory.
