Saudi Arabia beat nine-man Kyrgyzstan 2-0 on Sunday to secure a place in the second round of the Asian Cup with a game to spare. Goals from Mohamed Kanno in the first half and then Faisal Al-Ghamdi in the second means that a draw against Thailand on Friday will be enough to secure first place in Group F.
It was far from a vintage performance by the three-time champions against a team that played over 80 minutes with 10 men and over 40 with nine but the Green Falcons did enough and are through.
