Nepal have lost their second successive AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers final round encounter in Kuwait. Home side Kuwait defeated Nepal 4-1 to register their first win in the group.

Nepal looked much improved on the ball in the match than against Jordan but Kuwait looked much more dangerous whenever Nepal attacked high leaving acres of space in behind.

Kuwait took the lead thanks to a goal from Fahad Alreshidi in the 28th minute of the match. Fahad found himself free on a cross and glanced a header into the back of the net. The first half ended with a solitary goal.

At the very start of the second half, Kuwait doubled the lead through Yousef Alsulaiman. A long ball from deep found Yousef who had made a run in behind and he finished the chance with ease. Yousef tripled the lead in the 70th minute off a brilliant counter attack. Bader Al-Mutwa found himself in a 2v1 situation and squared the ball to Yousef who finished the chance with ease.

Mobarak Al-Faneeni added another just three minutes later in yet another counter attack.

Darshan Gurung pulled one back for Nepal in the fourth minutes of the stoppage time but it was a too late to ignite a comeback for Nepal. This was Nepal's first goal against Kuwait in 40 years.

Nepal sit at the bottom of Group A with zero points. Kuwait, Jordan and Indonesia have three points each. Jordan and Indonesia have a game in hand and are scheduled to face each other later tonight.

Nepal coach Abdullah Almutairi fainted on the sidelines and needed medical attention.

Nepal will face Indonesia in their final group encounter on June 14.
