Afghanistan's national football team beat Mongolia 1-0 on Monday in its second match of the AFC Challenge Cup qualifiers in Laos.
Afghan striker Belal Arezou scored the only goal of the match which began 1:30pm, Kabul time.
The first half ended with no goals with the Afghan team proving strong but missing several opportunities. Arezo struck his winning goal in the 60th minute of the match.
Arezou also scored the only goal in Afghanistan's first match against Sri Lanka on Saturday, winning 1-0.
After beating Mongolia, Afghanistan will next face the host country Laos on Wednesday with the match kicking off 4:30pm, Kabul time.
Having won two out of two matches, Afghanistan currently tops Group Three in the qualifying round with six points.
Eight players from last year's Afghan premiere league (APL) are playing for the national team in the Cup qualifiers, six of whom are playing with the national team for the first time.
These six were drawn from the Kandahar, Kabul and Herat APL teams.
If Afghanistan team wins Wednesday's match, it will qualify for the 2014 AFC Challenge Cup.
The AFC Challenge Cup began in 2006 and is held every two years. In the current qualifiers 20 teams have been placed in five pools of four teams each. Seven teams - the five group winners and the two best second-placed - will head to the main round to be held next year in the Maldives city Malé.
