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.

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.

So that would be it then, goals in the 4th, 21st and injury time of the first half would give Uzbekistan a 3-0 win over India and take them to the second position in the points table of group B at the AFC Asian Cup 2023.

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.

80 minutes have gone by and the Indian team do not have any time left in their hands now to try and make a match out of it. What they can do is at least score once to try and keep the momentum going in their last meeting which would be against Syria.

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. 

 

9:29 PM

India have more possession in this game than they had against Australia

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.

India had the golden opportunity to get back in the game with Rahul KP hitting the cross bar. However, the ball fell in place for Sunil Chhetri on the rebound, but he too was unable to get the ball past the Uzbeki goal and as a result, the scoreline remained 0-3.
