The Uzbekistan national team played another friendly match against the Armenian club "Urartu." Since the match was held behind closed doors, the fans maintained the "emotion" through news, not in the stands, but the scenario on the field was still quite lively.
The Uzbek players, coached by Fabio Cannavaro, won the match with a score of 4:2, demonstrating their good mood and confidence during the preparation process.
The Armenians opened the scoring in the 19th minute, putting our national team on alert for a moment. But after that, the Uzbekistan national team took control of the game and gradually turned the situation in their favor. In the 35th minute, Alisher Odilov scored the equalizer. In the second half, Javohir Husanov changed the score in the 58th minute, shifting the lead to ours.
The most impressive episodes were associated with the name of Avazbek Ulmasaliev: he scored a goal in the 62nd and 70th minutes, scored a brace, and almost completely decided the fate of the match. In short, Urartu's "shock-goal" at the start was quickly forgotten, and at the end of the game, the scoreboard responded with four goals - hard and reliable.
Friendly match
Uzbekistan - Urartu 4:2
Goals: Odilov (35), Husanov (58), Ulmasaliyev (62, 70).
Uzbekistan - Yusupov (Nazarov, 36, Nemanov, 71), Davronov (Tursunov, 47), Jaloliddinov (Kholmurodov, 36, Bahromov, 71), Odilov (Giyosov, 36, Yuldoshev, 71), Ahadov (Komilov, 47), Ibragimov (Mahamadjonov, 36, Abdurahmonov, 71), Abdurazzokov (Gulomov, 36, Mavlonqulov, 71).
In general, in such control matches, more important than the score is the team's reaction, maintaining tempo, and not "breaking" after conceding a goal. Cannavaro's pupils looked good at exactly this point: not "turning off" after one hit, but rather responding quickly.
