U23 Uzbekistan advanced to the quarter-finals of the AFC U23 Championship with stable form and the position of a championship contender. In the group stage, the Central Asian representative topped Group C with 7 points after 3 matches.
The strength of U23 Uzbekistan lies in their organized, disciplined playing style and good opportunity-taking ability. This team maintains solidity in the lower line, minimizes errors and always maintains a reasonable team distance.
Not only in this year's tournament, Uzbekistan has long been considered one of the youth football backgrounds with sustainable development in Asia with a balanced force of players, good physique and quick adaptability to high competition speed.
Meanwhile, U23 China entered the knockout round as the runner-up of Group D. This team started the tournament with a minimal victory against U23 Australia, then successively shared points with U23 Iraq and U23 Thailand. Although not scoring many goals, China is still quite solid thanks to a tight defense system and has not conceded any goals.
