Uzbekistan U20 1–2 Russia U20

Russia U20 looked in control for most of this friendly, scoring twice in eight second-half minutes to put Uzbekistan U20 away. Ivan Vozrastov broke the deadlock in the 57th, and Ilya Firov doubled the lead in the 64th, giving the visitors a cushion that seemed comfortable deep into the closing stages. Uzbekistan U20 had other ideas. They kept pushing and finally got their reward in the third minute of injury time, pulling one back to set up a nervy final whistle for Russia U20. It wasn't enough to salvage anything from the scoreboard, and the match finished 1-2, but the stoppage-time strike turned what looked like a routine away win into a genuinely tense finish. Neither side has a league-leading scorer in this one, and Lautaro Martínez's 6-goal mark elsewhere is a reminder of how far off the pace these young talents still are, but that's beside the point here. The real story is the minute 90+3 goal that nearly rewrote the ending. Watch how Uzbekistan U20's late push almost forced extra time against Russia U20 in the highlights below.
