Karaj: Afghanistan finished their AFC U-16 Championship Malaysia 2018 Qualifiers campaign with a third win beating Lebanon 4-1 on Sunday.
After losing out to Islamic Republic of Iran on Matchday Four, Afghanistan lose out on the top spot.

Lebanon managed to pull one back when they were awarded a penalty, which Wassim Ayach converted in the 68th minute.

Mohammad Noman Walizada ended the match with a goal of his own three minutes before time to hand Sayed Hadi Kazemi's side three valuable points.
