Having nudged ahead in the first half through Azizbek Turgunboev, Uzbekistan lost their lead just before the one-hour mark. Fayzullaev\u2019s stunning goal from 25 yards, however, took them over the finishing line and into a quarter-final showdown with defending champions Qatar on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u201cI always give my best in every game, and I simply hate losing,\u201d said the 20-year-old. \u201cI think we did a very good job in the first half, and were all quite upbeat coming back from the break. So, even when we conceded, we didn\u2019t let it affect us and quickly regrouped to take the lead back.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI think (Jaloliddin) Masharipov, (Oston) Urunov and I did a great job in switching positions in the attacking half which created confusion among the Thai players. Once we recover, we will turn our focus to our next match. We know Qatar have a lot of strong, individually talented players, but that doesn\u2019t scare us. Now, I just want to win every match.\u201d <\/p>\n
Fayzullaev, the AFC U20 Asian Cup\u2122 Uzbekistan 2023 MVP, said his performances in Qatar 2023 have motivated him to cement a permanent place in the senior side. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think becoming champions of the AFC U20 Asian Cup on home soil has given me a lot of confidence, and has also instilled in me a desire to keep aiming for higher goals,\u201d said the CSKA Moscow winger, whose strike took his tournament tally to two goals. <\/p>\n
\u201cI want to congratulate all Uzbek fans for being part of this victory. We could feel the support pouring in from the stands and it is a huge factor behind the team being able to work together, perform and win.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
