Uzbekistan Futsal Team Equalizes with Tajikistan Seconds Before Match End

The Uzbekistan futsal national team managed to draw with the Tajikistan team in the second friendly match. Despite the Uzbeks trailing until almost the final whistle, the team captain was able to equalize just two seconds before the end of the game.

This match took place on November 10th at the Yunusabad stadium in Tashkent. In the first half, neither team could score a goal. However, in the 36th minute, Tajikistan's captain Dilshod Salomov put the guests ahead, putting the hosts in a difficult position.

In the final part of the game, the Uzbekistan national team made a risky decision to replace the goalkeeper with an extra field player. This tactical change brought the desired effect: in the last minute, after a set-piece, Davron Choriyev scored a goal, thus preventing the team from losing.

This match was the second in a series of friendly matches held within the FIFA international window. It is worth noting that in the first game, which took place on November 8th, the Uzbekistan national team, under the guidance of Bahodir Akhmedov, achieved a convincing 3-0 victory over Tajikistan.

Previously, Bahodir Akhmedov took charge of the Uzbekistan futsal national team. Goals were set for the new coach to win a spot in the World Cup and to win the Asian Cup.
