India's quest for glory at the ongoing AFC Asian Cup has come to an intriguing juncture where they find themselves up against Uzbekistan in a Group B fixture. The 102-ranked India will cross swords with the 68th-ranked Uzbekistan in what promises to be a tough gig for the Blue Tigers.
While India are coming into the contest on the back of a 2-0 defeat against Australia, Uzbekistan too failed to get off to a winning start as they played a goalless draw against Syria on Saturday, January 13.
India's defence was spotless in the first half against Australia but two lethal blows from Jackson Irvine (50') and Jordan Bos (73') in the second half sealed the game in Australia's favour.
Both India and Uzbekistan will cross swords with each other for the first time since their clash in the 2001 Merdeka Cup in Kuala Lumpur that had gone in the latter's favour. Uzbekistan had pipped India 2-1 in that contest.
