Syrian Seven

Syria won with the same score, 7-0, over its host, Myanmar, in the match that took place between them at the Mohammed bin Fahd Stadium in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, in the second group of the qualifiers.

Syria is in second place in the group with 7 points, two points behind Japan, the leader of the group, whose scheduled match against North Korea, which is in third place with 3 points, was postponed.

Last week, the Asian Football Confederation decided to cancel the match after the official Kyodo News Agency reported that North Korea, which does not have official diplomatic relations with Japan, decided not to host the match due to fears of infectious diseases in Japan.

Myanmar’s balance froze at one point at the bottom of the ranking.

Omar Kharbin scored the lead goal for Syria in the 30th minute with a header following a free kick. The goal was awarded after referring to the video assistant referee technology after initially calling it offside, amid a protest from the Myanmar coach.

The referee of the match sent off Hin Phyu Win, the Myanmar player, in the third minute of stoppage time in the first half after receiving a second warning due to a violent challenge against a Syrian player on the edge of the penalty area.

The Syrian pressure continued, but the first half ended with Syria leading by one goal without a response.

But the second half was very strong from Syria, which scored in the 47th minute following a cross pass that Ibrahim Hisar met with a header into the net.

Moayad Al-Ajan added the third goal in the 51st minute.

Omar Kharbin returned to score his second goal and the fourth for Syria in the 54th minute, before completing the hat-trick in the 63rd minute, putting him 10 goals away from the player who scored the most with the Syrian national team.

Al-Ajjan scored his second goal and the sixth for Syria in the 68th minute with a powerful shot from outside the penalty area into the net, then Alaa Danny Daly added the seventh goal in the 80th minute.
