A bright page has been written in the history of Uzbek football! Our U17 national team showed an amazing and dramatic game in the final of the Asian Cup for youth held in Saudi Arabia, defeating the host team 2:0.
The final match was dramatic and intense in every aspect. During the game, two of our players received red cards, and although we were left with two fewer players, our footballers demonstrated resilience and bravery.
The most critical moment of the match occurred in the 51st minute. Uzbekistan's defender Muhammad Hakimov executed the penalty awarded against the opponent with remarkable calmness and confidence, opening the scoring. This situation filled the hearts of millions of fans watching the game in the stadium and on television with joy and excitement.
After that, the Saudi Arabian national team intensified their pressure to equalize the score, but our players acted precisely in defense and continued to seek their opportunities in counterattacks. Finally, in the 70th minute, Sadriddin Hasanov seized the opponent's goal for the second time, further solidifying our team's victory.
The final minutes of the match turned into a truly historic event. With the referee's final whistle, our national team players and coaching staff embraced each other in the middle of the stadium, celebrating the victory with joyful tears. These young footballers, who fought against all odds, truly became the pride of the entire nation.
Thus, the Uzbekistan youth national team became the Asian champion even while playing with 9 players, proving once again the bright future of Uzbek football through this historic achievement.
We also sincerely congratulate the Uzbekistan national team and the entire Uzbek people on this tremendous victory. This pride and joy is our collective achievement!
Forward, Uzbekistan! With these heroic young men, we step confidently towards world football!
