Sri lanka lost their last league match against Kyrgyzstan to lose any chance of qualifying for the final. Kyrgyzstan who were winless in their last 3 matches put up a nice show of football and won the match 4-1. At the end of the first half Kyrgyzstan were leading 2-0 with the goals from Anton Zemlihanuin at the 34th minute and Ilder Admirov at the 45th minute. At the beginning of the second half Sri Lanka striked back through captain SKCM Weerasinghe. However the hope of a comeback suffered a setback when Mirlan Murzaev scored a goal at the 65th minute to increase the lead to 3-1. Rustem Usanov sealed the result with a goal at the 70th minute.
The result makes the last match between India and Syria a as both of them have already qualified for the final. However, the match will be great practice match for both and can be used to judge the opponents. Last edition of the tournament saw these two teams playing the final where India won. However, in the league stage match Syria did manage a win.
