Jakarta: A last gasp strike from captain Jamal Bhuiyan steered Bangladesh to grab a crucial solitary goal victory against Qatar to advance into the last 16 of the ongoing Asian Games football at the Patriot Chandrabaga Stadium, Jakarta Palembag.   The result sent the Unai Melgosa led Qatar packing after finishing bottom of the group with only one point to their credit.   Uzbekistan have already sealed their position with nine points from three victories while Thailand are now in third position with two points.   The top two teams from each of the six groups and the four best third-place finishers will go through.   In the day’s other match, Uzbekistan beat Thailand by 1-0 goal scored by Zabikhillo Urinboev in the 17th minute.
