The Asian Cup debutants Tajikistan qualified for the last 16 in dramatic fashion as they came from behind to snatch a last-gasp 2-1 victory against 10-man Lebanon in Group A after scoring their first ever goals in the tournament on Monday. Having had two goals ruled out by VAR and finding themselves 1-0 down, Tajikistan did not let up and scored through Parvizdzhon Umarbayev as the captain found the top corner from a free-kick in the 80th minute. The winner came in added time from Nuriddin Khamrokulov, whose effort looped over the goalkeeper Mostafa Matar to seal a historic win for Tajikistan, who finished second in the group with four points behind the table-toppers Qatar.
