Kuwait SC secured a valuable away victory by defeating Uzbek hosts Nasaf Karshi 1-0 in their match on Wednesday at the Nasaf Stadium, as part of the third round of Group 1 in the AFC Champions League Two.
The match was officiated by referee Abdulhadi Al-Ruwaili. The first half featured cautious, tactical play from both sides until Kuwaiti striker Mohammed Daham broke the deadlock in the 40th minute, capitalizing on a well-crafted assist from his teammate Bordeleau, putting the representative of Kuwaiti football ahead just before halftime.
With the start of the second half, the home side attempted to equalize by imposing attacking pressure and dominating possession, which reached 56% compared to Kuwait SC’s 44%.
Despite Nasaf’s repeated efforts, which included 17 shots (four of which hit the woodwork) and 21 crosses, Kuwait’s solid defensive organization and the outstanding performance of their goalkeeper—who made four crucial saves—prevented the net from being disturbed.
In return, Kuwait SC’s counter-attacking threats remained persistent, registering 10 shots, eight of which were inside the penalty area.
With this important win, Kuwait SC moved to six points from two victories and one defeat, sharing the top spot in Group 1 with the UAE’s Al-Ittihad Kalba. Meanwhile, Nasaf Karshi remained on one point after their second loss, leaving them at the bottom of the group standings.
