Meanwhile, Kazakhstan continued to struggle for results at the bottom of the standings as they fell to a 2-0 loss against Austria at the Ortalyq Stadion on Thursday.
Stanislav Cherchesov’s men have now lost four straight games, conceding 10 goals and failing to find the back of the net since kicking off the campaign with a goalless draw against Norway on September 6.
Kazakhstan head into Sunday’s group finale without a win in nine matches across all competitions, losing eight and claiming one draw since a 2-0 friendly victory over Turkmenistan on March 14.
