We entered the height of the CAFA Nations Cup-2025 competition. Today, September 5th, the Uzbekistan national team will play the decisive match against Kyrgyzstan.
In today's match, the Oman team defeated Turkmenistan 2-1 with a goal scored in the last minute and took the lead in the group with 7 points. Now all attention is focused on the match with the participation of the "white wolves."
The national team, led by Temur Kapadze, will secure a direct ticket to the final if they defeat Kyrgyzstan by two goals. However, even a minimal victory can be enough for the national team.
Because according to the tournament regulations, first the number of points is considered, and then the ratio of matches and goals. If these indicators are equal, the winner is determined based on the discipline indicators of the teams.
In this regard, the Uzbekistan team is in a very comfortable position. Because the team under Carlos Queiroz received 9 yellow cards in three rounds, and the head coach himself received two warnings in two games - that's a total of 11 points. Our national team is limited to one red card and one yellow card (a total of 4 points). Therefore, if our players are not warned more than 5 times today, even a minimal victory will pave the way to the final.
We remind you that the final match of the competition will be held on September 8. In Group "B," Iran managed to reach the final, while India will compete for 3rd place.
