The Uzbekistan U-20 national team lost to China with a minimal score

The Uzbekistan U-20 national team played a friendly match against China as part of the next training camp. In the match, held at the Zhaoqin Sports Center arena, the host team won with a score of 1:0, securing their advantage with a single goal.

No matter how bitter the outcome of the match, such games are especially necessary in youth football: the team tests itself under real pressure, high speed, and in the conditions of a foreign field. Especially, matches against opponents playing in different styles provide great experience before future official competitions.

The Uzbekistan U-20 team started the match with the following lineup:

Initial composition:

21. Nematullah Rustamjonov, 2. Shorahim Shorahmedov, 3. Ozodbek Odiljonov, 4. Muhammadali Musaxonov, 8. Abdulfayz Bobomurodov, 11. Ulugbek Maratov, 15. Mo'minxon Bahodirxonov, 16. Azizbek Erimbetov, 19. Muhammadali Dilshodbekov (s), 22. Davron To'laganov, 23. Sayfiddin Sodiqov.

The following players were on the bench:

Ibrohim Shokirov, Ozodbek Najmiddinov, Behruz Erkinov, Shohjahon Abdumannobov, Nurbek Sarsenbayev, Sirojiddin Jumadillayev, Alishan Abutalipov, Diyorbek Tojiyev, Behruz Abdusattorov, Kuvanishbek Saydaliyev, Abdulvosid Soliyev, Abdulvoris Hojimurodov.

Most importantly, this series of duels doesn't end there. The second friendly match between the teams is scheduled for February 9. This means that young men still have the opportunity to "work on shortcomings" and express their opinion. 0:1 in the first match is not a tragedy; on the contrary, it can be called a "bell" to draw the right conclusions before the second match.
