The game will be played at Suwon World Cup Stadium with kick off slated for 2pm Qatar Standard Time. "It will be a tough match against a strong side. But we are ready for the big fight," he said on Wednesday. "Like our coach said, they are one of the best sides in Asia. They have skillful players". "But we have the right focus for this game. God Willing, we will do well. We aim to fight the entire game," he said. "We haven't come this great distance just to play a game. We have come to perform to the best of our abilities," Afif said. "We respect the opposition but at the same time, we are very confident of getting three points," he said.
