In a friendly football match on October 16, the Uzbek national football team secured a victory against China with a final score of 2-1. This win marked a notable moment for Uzbekistan, ending their three-year drought without an away win.
The match saw both teams displaying their skills on the field, with China's striker, Wei Shihao, opening the scoring in the 41st minute. However, Uzbekistan managed to level the score in the second half. In the 78th minute, Otabek Shukurov missed a crucial penalty, but their determination paid off when Djamshid Iskandarov executed a successful attack in the 86th minute.
This win is a positive development for Uzbekistan, breaking their streak of unsuccessful away matches. Their last away victory was on October 12, 2020, when they defeated the United Arab Emirates (UAE) with a score of 2-1.
As Uzbekistan prepares for their upcoming challenges, including hosting the final match of the 2026 championship qualifying tournament against Turkmenistan on November 16, this victory against China serves as a morale booster and highlights their potential in international football.
