KATHMANDU: Nepal's Three Star Club came from behind in the 85th minute to draw 1-1 with Cambodia's Nagaworld FC in their second Group B match of the AFC Cup 2017 Play-off Qualifiers on Tuesday.

Nagaworld took a lead in the 28th minute with Nhim Sovannara's goal at the Football Centre MFF, Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia. Three Star’s foreign recruit Ajayi Martins Kayode leveled the score in 87th minute.

With the crucial draw today, the Nepali league champions have strengthened their chances for the next round of the qualification.

Three Star’s fate, however, depends upon the result of the match between the hosts Erchim FC and Nagaworld slated for Thursday. Three Star had defeated hosts Erchim by 2-0 in the opener.

If Nagaworld beat Erchim with more than two goals difference, the club will be restricted to the second position in the group while Nagaworld will advance to the play-off stage of the competition as the group winner.
