Bam Khatoon Capable of Finding Net against Kaya: AFC
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Bam Khatoon may have started its campaign with a 2-1 defeat against Melbourne but Marziyeh Jafari’s side can look to its strong second half performance against the Australian side as encouragement in the match against the Philippines’ Kaya FC-Iloilo.
Mona Hamoudi’s goal against Melbourne showed the team is capable of finding the back of the net against even the toughest of defenses and it will surely adopt a more aggressive approach against Kaya, the-afc.com reported.
Kaya head coach Let Dimzon admitted after the goalless draw with College of Asian Scholars that improvements are needed in the finishing department.
The Philippines side will need to get its act together against Bam Khatoon and pick up three points before facing a more difficult task in their final match against Melbourne.
Melbourne’s 2-1 win against Bam Khatoon means the Australian side has the opportunity to seal a place in the knockout stage should it beat College of Asian Scholars.
Six points will assure the team of a top two finish regardless of what happens in the other matches and head coach Michael Matricciani will drum into his team the need to maintain their focus.
If there’s one thing Matricciani will be keeping an eye out for is an improvement from his team in terms of finishing after only scoring twice from 17 attempts on Sunday.
His opposite number Nuengrutai Srathongvian will also be looking for a similar uptrend after her side couldn’t find the breakthrough despite having 24 attempts against Kaya.
