Tehran: The 2010 runners-up Uzbekistan were given a tough fight by a
spirited Indian side as the Uzbeks recorded a thrilling 3-2 victory over
India in the Group D match of the AFC U-16 Championship on Sunday.
The Indians came back twice through Uttam Rai’s two perfectly taken
headers but the Uzbeks had the last laugh after second half substitute
Abdiganiyev Ilhomjon scored the decisive 11 minutes from time. Earlier
Odilov Mukhiddin opened Uzbek’s account in the 8th minute and later
after Rai’s equalizer a mistimed tackle by Mohammed Sajid gave away the
penalty for the Uzbeks and Ibrokhim Abduallev converted.
Uzbekistan, who defeated the Indians 9-0 in the qualifiers of this
tournament, dictated the pace of the match in the beginning and were
duly rewarded with a 1-0 lead in the 8th minute. Forward Mukhiddin
Odilov sneaked in to gather a pass from Izzatilla Abdullaev and rounded
off Indian goalie Supratim Bhattacharjee who had a brilliant match under
the bar.
The Indian defenders and Bhattacharjee combined to
stop the Uzbeks add more goals in the first half. India made their
occasional moves count and Rai scored a poacher’s header off the
freekick of Alen Deory to make it 1-1 two minutes into the second half.
India were unlucky as Sajid conceded a penalty and Abduallev sent
Bhattacharjee the wrong way to regain the lead for the Uzbeks in the
53rd minute. Rai was again in action as amid the confusion amongst
Indian defenders he popped up the goal off a second half substitute Raja
Rawat’s cross to bring the match once again at level in the 71st
minute.
As Uzbeks were in danger of not getting full points from
the match, Ilhomjon collected a brilliant cross from defender Islom
Ismoilov and scored the decisive winner with just 11 minutes remaining.
India will take on Syria while Uzbekistan face another group favourite China on Tuesday.
