He then scored a brace in the quarter final tie against Afghanistan helping his country qualify for their first final ever. During the final against the Philippines, he scored the only goal of the match, coming from a direct free-kick in the 59th minute of the game, winning the 2014 AFC Challenge Cup for his country for the first time ever, and qualifying for the 2015 AFC Asian Cup.
