Accordingly, Hwang Seon-hong will be confirmed to 'top the group and advance to the round of 16' in just two games if he defeats his second opponent, Thailand.

Kuwait drew 1-1 with Salman Muhammad's dramatic free kick in the 29th minute of the second half in the second match against Bahrain in Group E of the tournament held at the Jinhua Sports Center Stadium in Zhejiang, China, on the afternoon of the 21st.

Kuwait (1 draw, 1 loss), who lost by 9 goals to the national soccer team led by Coach Hwang Seon-hong on the 19th, managed to pick up 1 point.

Meanwhile, Bahrain (2 draws, 2 points), who missed the victory in the previous game against Thailand by conceding a goal in extra time in the second half, was unable to keep the first goal in this game and ended in a draw.

As a result, if Hwang Seon-hong wins the subsequent match against Thailand, he will have 6 points, and the point gap with Bahrain will widen to 4.

In this case, even if Hwang Seon-hong loses and Bahrain wins in the final match of Group E, the rankings of the two teams will not change.

If they advance to the round of 16 by finishing first in Group E, they will face the second place in Group F, which includes North Korea, Indonesia, Kyrgyzstan, and Taiwan.

If this happens, Hwang Seon-hong will take a different path from his predecessor, Kim Hak-beom, who experienced twists and turns due to advancing to the round of 16 after finishing second in his group at the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games.

At that time, despite a huge win (6-0) against Bahrain in the first game, Kim Hak-beom met powerhouse Uzbekistan in the quarterfinals due to a shock loss (1-2) against Malaysia in the second game, and after a bloody overtime struggle, he barely won 4-3 and advanced to the semifinals.

The balance between the two teams, which finished the first half tied 0-0, was broken in the 7th minute of the second half when Bahrain's Hassan Ali hit the net with a surprise shot from the right side of the penalty area.

Bahrain, who seemed to be on the cusp of victory, allowed Kuwait's Muhamhad a 'one-shot' in the 29th minute of the second half.

From behind the penalty arc, Muhammad saved Kuwait from the swamp of defeat by scoring a free kick goal that hit the bottom corner of the goal accurately.

As the spirit of a draw deepened at the end of the game, the Bahrain players became impatient and engaged in a rough fight, leading to a fierce group battle between players from both teams.

Amid shouts from both the bench and the ground, in the extra time of the second half, Kuwait's Faisal Al-Sahati pulled his uniform, and Panair Al-Mesaed, who could not control his anger, hit Al-Sahati on the back of the head with his elbow and was sent off.
