Katanets’ team will fight with Qatar for the right to reach the top four
Uzbekistan achieved a labor victory over Thailand in the 1/8 finals match Asian Cup 2023 – 2:1.
Srečko Katanec’s team lived up to its favorite status. She managed to win the first half thanks to an accurate shot from Azizbek Turgunbaev.
In the second half, Thailand managed to bounce back – substitute Supachok Sarachat from Sapporo, Japan, scored. But soon the Uzbeks restored the status quo through the efforts of Abbosbek Faizullaev.
Uzbekistan has reached the quarterfinals, where its opponent will be the Qatar team, which beat Palestine yesterday (2:1).
Another round of 16 match will be played later today – perhaps the central showdown of the entire stage. It will pit Saudi Arabia and South Korea. Starts at 18:00 Kyiv time.
