Uzbekistan Women

Match report

Uzbekistan's women's side met China in the second round of group play at the Asian Games on Wednesday. The match ended 1:1, a result that keeps both teams in contention. China had already won their opening fixture, while Uzbekistan were facing their first real test.

K. Dadaboeva gave the hosts the lead in the 41st minute, a goal that brought the stadium into focus. By then the visitors had already made changes — Wurigumula, Ying Wang and X. Zhou came on in the 46th. D. Khabibullaeva picked up a yellow card in the 55th, followed by M. Shoyimova five minutes later. Zhang Linyan levelled for China in the 70th. There were more substitutions after that — Liu Jing, U. Zoirova, Z. Mamatkarimova, Y. Si and M. Egamberdieva all entered the match.

To be fair, the standings told a different story before kickoff. China sat at the top with three points from one win. Uzbekistan were third with just one point from their draw against the Philippines. And here's the thing — that earlier result against the Philippines had been a 1:1 draw as well.

The draw brought Uzbekistan back to the same point total, while China stayed on top. Uzbekistan's recent form had been mixed — victories against Myanmar and draws against the Philippines, but losses to Thailand and South Korea.

China's record looked stronger on paper. They had beaten Hong Kong 5:1 in their last outing, though they had also lost to Russia twice. The visitors had not lost since March.
