The Uzbekistan national team will play a friendly match against South Korea on Tuesday, October 6. The game kicks off at 11:00 local time at the Yongin Mir Stadium in Gyeonggi Province.
This match offers a key test for Sardor Rakhmonov's side as they look to build on two consecutive victories. Uzbekistan defeated Syria 4-1 on October 1 and Iran 3-1 on September 24.
Their opponents, South Korea, drew 0-0 with Venezuela in their last outing. Captain Son Heung-min, who is level at the top of South Korea's all-time men's scoring chart with 58 goals, could break the record in this fixture. The team is under interim head coach Roberto Moreno.
Uzbekistan's starting lineup against Syria featured Abduvokhid Nematov, Bekhruz Karimov, Abdukodir Khusanov, Jakhongir Urozov, Makhmud Makhamadzhonov, Odiljon Khamrobekov, Akmal Mozgovoy, Azizbek Amanov, Sherzod Esanov, Abbosbek Fayzullaev, and Khuisain Norchaev.
Analyst Lee Geun-ho suggested tactical changes from the Korean side could be in store. "It will be worth watching whether the coaching staff opts to change the tactics, the personnel, or both," Lee said.
Coming off a two-game winning streak, Uzbekistan will aim to continue their positive momentum with contributions from players like top scorer Ulugbek O'runov, who has 4 goals this season according to our stats. The match will be broadcast live on Coupang Play.
