Entering the match with confidence, U17 Thailand created a dangerous opportunity in the first minute, but could not take advantage of it successfully.
Immediately, the Uzbekistan team reacted strongly and opened the score thanks to Khasanov's goal. The situation became even more difficult when in just 13 minutes, Sarsenbaev doubled the gap with a great shot from Sodikov's accurate return.
Despite being behind, U17 Thailand did not give up. At the 40th minute, Mexico, a young player wearing the Manchester United U16 shirt, entered the field and scored to reduce the score to 1-2, giving the Southeast Asian team some hope.
However, in the second half, U17 Uzbekistan continued to show their superior strength.
Meanwhile, Thailand was at a big disadvantage when Phurinat received an indirect red card due to two yellow cards. With a lack of players, the Golden Temple team could not stop sharp attacks from Uzbekistan. In the 80th and 85th minutes, 2 more goals were scored, sealing a 4-1 victory for the Central Asian representative.
With this defeat, U17 Thailand will need to quickly regain their spirit when facing host U17 Saudi Arabia on April 6.
