Kyrgyz Republic U20 vs Turkmenistan U20

Kyrgyzstan U20 pulled off a dramatic 2-1 comeback win over Turkmenistan U20 in Round 3 of the CAFA U20 Championship on May 15, with the decisive goal coming deep into injury time to cap a stunning turnaround. Arlen Imerov broke the deadlock in the 66th minute, giving Kyrgyzstan what looked like a comfortable lead going into the final stages. But Turkmenistan refused to go quietly — Veysgeldi Orazdurdyyev levelled matters right at the death in the 90th minute, sending both benches into a frenzy. Then, in the ninth minute of added time, Kyrgyzstan found a stunning winner to complete the turnaround. The three points are a valuable boost for Kyrgyzstan U20 as they push for a strong finish in the round-robin tournament held in Tursunzade, Tajikistan. For Turkmenistan U20, having been so close to rescuing a point, the late collapse will sting — and they'll need to regroup quickly with more games still to come.
