The
Uzbekistan Football Association announced this.
In the
team's dressing room, a message in Spanish was left on a special board:
"Muchas gracias, México! Mucha suerte en el Mundial!" ("Thank
you very much, Mexico! Good luck in the World Cup!"). The message was also
complemented with the Uzbek word "Rahmat!".
As a
reminder, the Uzbekistan national team faced Colombia in their debut match at
the World Cup. The exciting and uncompromising match ended with a score of 3-1
in favor of Colombia. Abbosbek Fayzullaev became the author of the historic
first goal for Uzbekistan.
Thus, our
national team began its first-ever participation in the World Cup at the
"Azteca" stadium, one of the most famous arenas in football history.
