Doha, QATAR - The heart broken Maldives team, who tasted two consecutive defeat in their opening two games of Asian Games hopes to get three points before going back to home.

Hong Kong is having a relatively better tournament compared to Maldives as they drew against India in their opening game and really scared the defending champions, Iran, in the last game.
Maldives is yet to grab a point in the tournament after a two defeats against Iran and India.
Regarding tonight's game, team manager Addo stated that the team is not in the mood of making the game easy.
'We lost the chance of qualifying to the next round, but we will play for a win. We don't want to lose the game' He said.
'We (the management) is doing whatever possible in our hand to assist the team. We are giving whatever the team needs from our side'
'I hope for a good result and a win'
Coach Stoikov refused to give any comment to maldivesoccer.com as a reason of recently published articles of crticizing his strategy. He also asked maldivesoccer journalist to stop taking photos of Maldives' practice sessions and ordered to leave the field.
Maldives will face Hong Kong at 1915hrs tonight and later on Iran will face India in the other match of Group D.
Winner of each group will enter the quarter final and two best runners up among the six groups will follow.
Only Iran and India has the chance of qualifying to the quarter final from Group D.

FAM should seek for a good coach to replace stoikov. His regular failure to grab a Medal for Maldivian has proved that it time for him to be replaced. It is not fine, that to depend on one man. Try with other best coaches around the globe. Stoikov is not the sole coach available for Maldivians through out the world. There are really good coaches in the world and FAM should have to hear the cry of Maldivian Fans too... - Cafu
