Group C: Kyrgyz Republic 2-2 Tajikistan

Bangkok: Kyrgyz Republic came back from two goals down to salvage a 2-2 draw with Central Asian rivals Tajikistan in an entertaining encounter in Group C of the AFC Futsal Asian Cup™ Thailand 2024 on Saturday.

A win for Kyrgyz Republic would have seen them qualify for the quarter-finals with a game to spare, but after goals from Bahodur Khojaev and Komron Aliev put Tajikistan two goals up, they were delighted to gain a point after Shokhrukh Makhmadaminov and then Maksat Alimov in the final seconds brought them back level.
