If New Radiant go through AFC should investigate both teams for match-fixing hehehe. Seriously though, if they perform like the way they did in the 2nd half, I would be happy even with a draw. Maldivian teams have a horrible record when playing in Middle-Eastern countries, let's hope it's not going to be the case this time.
