Kyrgyzstan will take on Oman in their final group game of the AFC Asian Cup at the Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium on Thursday. While Kyrgyzstan are already out of the race to get into the knockout stage, Oman are third in the group and stand a slim chance of making it to the next round.
Oman had a difficult fixture in their opener as they lost to Saudi Arabia. They were then held by Thailand in the second match. Kyrgyzstan lost both their games with a 0-2 scoreline and are at the bottom of the group. Even a point from the final game will be a big result for them considering their form.
Here GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.
