IND vs UZB, AFC Asian Cup Highlights: Listless India lose 0-3 to Uzbeks

India vs Uzbekistan Highlights, AFC Asian Cup football: The Blue Tigers were tamed by the White Wolfs as the Uzbeks punished a listless Indian team 3-0 in the group B affair in Doha

The Indian football team lost 0-3 in their AFC Asian Cup 2023 game against Uzbekistan at the Ahamad Bin Ali Stadium in Doha. This was the second match of the group stage for the Blue Tigers who lost 0-2 against mighty Australians in the first match and raised hopes of an improved showing this time around. Abbosbek Fayzullaev, Igor Sregeev and Sherzod Nasrullaev scored three goals respectivley for the White Wolves. 

India looked listless in the match and could not convert any of the chances, even as they had more possession and shots at goal compared to the match against Australia. They will take on Syria in their final group match and a win there could still see them progress, but that would only come with permutations and combinations.

Any chance for India to move to the Round of 16?

India can still move to the Round of 16 only if: 

 

India beat Syria

Lebanon and Tajikistan play a draw
And then one of the other two teams placed third and fourth in their group with zero points to their name, play a draw against each other. 

 

If those three things happen in unison, India could move to the Round of 16 as one of the four best third-placed teams in the competition at the group stage.

86 Minutes  | 2nd Half

 

This game is going nowhere as far as India are concerned as they had nothing to work with literally and after the two early gaols, it was always going to be chasing game and they have chased and chased and chased and yet got nowhere.

That was a brilliant header by Rahul Bheke, but the Uzbeki goalie was spot on to put it over the crossbar and keep his clean sheet intact. Earlier Rahul KP was tackled brilliantly while he was trying to provide a cross.

66 Minutes  | 2nd Half

 

India have had more possession, more shots at goal, more corners and everything more than they had against Australia, including the goals that they conceded. They have been faltering in the final third and that is the biggest issue keeping them away from scoring their first goal in the competition.

61 Minutes  | 2nd Half

 

Sandesh Jhingan wasted a golden opportunity to pass the ball and keep it in the opponent’s half, he instead tried to be cheeky and lost the ball. Rahul KP does a similar thing in the Uzbek D and India are still miles away from making an impression in this game.
