Kuwait, on the other hand, dominated Nepal in their first group game, winning 3-1 with goals from Khalid El Ebrahim, Shabib Al Khaldi and Mohammad Abdullah Daham. Kuwait dominated the possession and were efficient in their goalscoring. Rui Bento’s side will be looking to continue their form and gain the top spot in Group A.
