Speaking to KUNA following the game, team director Ahmad Al-Ajmi expressed satisfaction with the team’s performance especially as the team have a promising future ahead, pointing out that the player Ahmad Al-Sayegh won the player-of-the match award.

There is hope for the second round in this tournament, noting that the team will face Mongolia tomorrow and Thailand next Thursday the strongest teams in the group, he said.
