Uzbekistan 3-0 Oman
Jaloliddin Masharipov scored the opening goal in the seventh minute when he struck his free-kick past the Omani wall before beating a diving Ibrahim Al Mukhaini from just above the six-yard-box.

Uzbekistan almost scored again nine minutes later when Masharipov’s corner was flicked on into the path of Umar Eshmurodov whose close-range effort was parried away by Al Mukhaini.

Masharipov, however, doubled Uzbekistan’s tally in the 24th minute when Farrukh Sayfiev sent a brilliant cross into the danger area for the Uzbekistan No 10 to slot home with an easy finish.

Oman fell further behind in the 89th minute with Khojiakbar Alijonov striking home from inside the box following Akmal Mozgovoy’s cutback from the edge of the area.

Tajikistan 1-1 Turkmenistan
It was all square in the opening 45 minutes at the Pakhtakor Stadium as neither team was able to break the deadlock.

Turkmenistan thought they were headed for a win when Myrat Annayew put his team in front in the 57th minute, only for Nuriddin Khamrokulov to come to Tajikistan’s rescue with a 86th minute effort to secure a point.

Oman will aim to bounce back when they face Tajikistan, while Turkmenistan meet Uzbekistan on Friday.
