“Manchester City” sent a group of players to participate in international matches in connection with FIFA days.
Among them is Abdukadir Khusanov. The club's official website commented on the performances of the “city” players on the international field.
- Erling Haaland, Abdukodir Khusanov and Umar Marmush supported their dream of reaching the World Cup with positive results in the qualifying tournament matches for their national teams.
However, the Brazilian national team, in which club member Savinho plays, lost 1:4 in a tense and uncompromising match against arch-rivals Argentina.
The Norwegian national team, led by Erling Haaland, has just started its journey to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, and after two wins in a row, it has become the leader in its group. This time, the Norwegians faced Israel in a neutral venue - Hungary, and won 4:2. Haaland scored the fourth goal.
Another important match took place in Iran. The national team of Uzbekistan, played by Abdukodir Khusanov, drew 2:2 in Tehran, which qualified the Iranians for the 2026 World Cup.
If Uzbekistan could hold on to the victory, it would have qualified for the World Cup for the first time in its history. Nevertheless, the Uzbeks are still in a very strong position to qualify for the most prestigious tournament that North America will host.
Abdukodir Khusanov himself played the entire match as usual, although the Uzbeks took the lead twice thanks to goals from Khajimat Erkinov and Abbasbek Fayzullaev, but the opposing striker Mehdi Taremi scored two goals to give Iran a much-needed point.
Uzbekistan will play their next matches in June. If Abdukodir Khusanov's team takes a point from the United Arab Emirates in the upcoming match or wins the match against Qatar, they will participate in the World Cup for the first time in their history.
The Egyptian team, which has included City striker Omar Marmoush, also has a very good chance of qualifying for the World Cup. This time, the Egyptians defeated Sierra Leone by a narrow margin, finishing with a fifth win in six matches. They also have one draw.
Omar Marmoush was substituted in stoppage time after 90 minutes. Egypt will play four more matches in the qualifying tournament.
Finally, Savinho came on in the 69th minute of Brazil's qualifier against Argentina. The hosts had already sealed the outcome of the match. Goals from former Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez, Enzo Fernandez, Alexis McAllister and Juliano Simeone gave the Argentines a 4-1 victory. Brazil's only goal came from Matthäus Cunha, reports Jonathan Smith, an expert at mancity.com.
All the players who were called up to the national teams will now return to Manchester City and begin preparing for the upcoming matches. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
