On September 8, the Uzbekistan national team played against Iran in the final of the "CAFA Nations Cup" held at the Olympic Stadium in Tashkent. The intense match ended with the victory of the Uzbek guys in the last minutes of extra time.
Thus, the Uzbekistan national team, 13 years later, recorded an important victory against the Iranians. This result is widely discussed not only in our country, but also in the media of neighboring countries.
Renowned Iranian commentator, 54-year-old Mazdak Mirzai, shared his personal thoughts on the final on his social media page.
"I don't want to mention that our national team lost to the Uzbek team after 13 years. My main focus was on Persepolis player Oston Urunov's 19 dribbles in the 75th minute," Mirzeyi wrote.
At the same time, disputes arose between fans of two major clubs in Tehran - "Persepolis" and "Istiqlol."
A message published in one of the local publications stated:
"Istiqlol players Aref Agasi, Ro'zbeh Sheshmi, and Ramin Rizoyan specifically committed a foul against Oston O'runov during the game. They may have intended to make it difficult for him to play in the Pro League.
However, it was clear that Urunov's physical condition and form were high. Even Eldor Shomurodov's penalty was saved by Urunov," the report said.
After these events, the actions of the Uzbek footballer caused great interest and discussion in Iran. Oston Urunov's strong performance on the field is highly appreciated not only by fans but also by experts.
