The SAFF Championship opener saw one of the tournament favourites Bangladesh being held to a draw by a gritty Pakistan performance. Zavisa Milosavljevic, the coach of the 174th ranked nation stated that his team has a definite chance of making it into the knockout phase of the competition.
The problem with Pakistan was that they lacked a physical and rather typical striker up front who could convert those chances much quicker. The Greenshirt's now face a Maldives side who themselves had a poor game of football in their opening Group 'B' encounter against Nepal.
Maldives coach Istvan Urbanyi started with a 4-4-2 formation with Ali Ashfaq and Ahmed Thariq starting upfront, and that will be the partnership likely to contest Pakistan and hopefully for them, try and win against the run of play this time!
Urbanyi was appointed as coach of the national team only five weeks prior to the start of the tournament, though he does know team well as he was their coach a couple of years back as well.
