Uzbekistan had already sealed top spot in Group B going into Sunday's match against Thailand. Uzbekistan largely dominated the frist half and opened the score through Zabikhillo Urinboev's 17th minute header. The South-East Asians threatened little in the either of the halves, with only a handful of attempts. Uzbekistan could increase the lead, but Masharipov couldn’t convert the penalty kick in the end of second half.

In the other match of the group the underdogs Bangladesh stun the Qataris with a 1-0 win through the added time goal for a surprise advance to knockout stage along with the Central Asians.
