Turkmenistan U20 vs Uzbekistan U20

Uzbekistan U20 made short work of Turkmenistan U20 on Tuesday, running out comfortable 2-0 winners in the CAFA U20 Championship round-robin stage. Kuvonch Abraev was the standout performer, bending the match to his will across a dominant first-half showing. Abraev opened the scoring in the 16th minute, putting Uzbekistan firmly in control before stepping up to convert from the penalty spot in the 40th minute to double the lead. Both goals arrived before the interval, leaving Turkmenistan with an impossible task in the second half — one they were never close to completing. The victory keeps Uzbekistan U20 at the summit of the CAFA U20 Championship standings heading into the final stages of the tournament, while Turkmenistan sit fourth and face a tough road ahead if they harbour any hopes of a late push for top honours.
