The victory made Pakistan managed to rise to second place in Group D’s standings shifting Indonesia which fell to third.
But despite winning over Indonesia, Pakistan certainly failed to qualify for the 2026 Women’s Asian Cup.
That is because Pakistan has been confirmed to lose head to head and goal difference if you have to calculate in the final standings to determine the champion of group D.
In the last match on Saturday (5/7), Pakistan will meet Kirgistan. While Indonesia will fight Taiwan.
Taiwan has collected six points thanks to a 3-0 victory over Kirgizstan and 8-0 advantage against Pakistan. Pakistan and Indonesia now both have three points.
If Indonesia wins over Taiwan and Pakistan defeating Kirgistan, there will be three teams that have six points. But Pakistan has certainly been eliminated if the condition occurs.
Determination of the best ranking if there are two or more teams that have the same value is through head to head.
If it is still the same or beat each other, then the best ranking is based on the goal difference between the teams involved.
Assuming that Indonesia defeated Taiwan and Pakistan conquered the Kirgistan so that there were three teams that had six points, the determination would continue to the goal difference.
In a goal difference, Pakistan certainly has a goal difference 2-8. Taiwan and Indonesia will depend on the results of the two teams.
But one thing is certain, Pakistani goal difference will not be able to beat the difference between Taiwan or Indonesia if Garuda Pertiwi will win big.
That is what makes Pakistan certainly failed to qualify after defeating Indonesia. Conversely, Indonesia still has hope to qualify for the 2026 Women’s Asian Cup in the last match against Taiwan.
