Abdiev scored at the stroke of break and on the commencement of the second half apart from setting up another goal to hand his side three important points. Uzbekistan are now nine points three matches while India are on three points from as many matches.’We played against a very good side,’ chief coach Colm Joseph Toal said at the post match press conference. ‘The best part from our perspective is that we kept them going for the entire 93 minutes. We had some good spells especially at the end of the first half. There was a penalty shout which I feel on another may have been given. ‘Against such a strong opposition you do need decisions to go your way and we were having a good spell at that time. Nevertheless, the stronger team won and I am happy that the Boys never let their shoulders droop,’ added Toal. Azimov Sardorbek cut inside fullback Gurba Gagrai on the left and fed Abdiev who made no mistake from close range, stabbing home across goal into the bottom right corner.
