Uzbekistan U19 team win their first match against Sri Lanaka by 10 goals
AFC U-19 Championship qualifier: Uzbekistan U19 team beat Sri Lanka in their opening Group B qualifying match with a 10-0 win.
Striker Abdusalomov was the hero of the match as he scored four goals for Uzbekistan, the first of which
was struck in the third minute.
It was a blow Sri Lanka
were not going to recover from as midfielder Izzatov (pictured below) doubled
Uzbekistan's lead in the 11th minute.
Kenjabaev Islom made it
3-0 in the 18th and three minutes later, Abdusalomov scored his second as Sri
Lanka struggled to control the tide of goals.
There was to be no
respite, though, as Islom was on target again in the 25th minute before
Uzbekistan took their foot off the pedal for the remainder of the first half.
Aware that goals could
prove crucial in the battle for top spot in the group, Uzbekistan came into the
second half with renewed vigour and were rewarded in the 63rd minute as Zokirov
scored their sixth.
He quickly followed that
up with his second four minutes later before Abdusalomov notched his hat-trick
in the 78th minute.
Sri Lanka were powerless
to stop Uzbekistan, who rounded off their day with further strikes from
Mozgovoy (83rd) and Abdusalomov (89th).
