Uzbekistan
Syria
Uzbekistan dismantled Syria through a combination of early control and ruthless finishing, racking up 23 shots to Syria's 7 and dominating the dangerous attacks count 87 to 38. Sherzod Esanov opened the scoring before Akmal Mozgovoy doubled the lead right on the half-time whistle, and Khusayin Norchaev put the game beyond doubt just after the restart with a goal and an assist to his name. Syria, overwhelmed for long stretches, never found a foothold despite matching possession at 50-50, a stat that flattered them given how little they threatened Uzbekistan's goal. The only blemish on an otherwise comfortable night came via an Abduvokhid Nematov own goal in stoppage time, a minor consolation that did nothing to change the complexion of a match Uzbekistan controlled from start to finish.

Uzbekistan host Syria in Tashkent in an international friendly that doubles as a key audition for new coach Fabio Cannavaro. Fresh off a 3-1 win over Iran and a 1-1 draw with Jordan, the hosts look to build momentum against a Syrian side using the window to assess squad depth.
