India vs Uzbekistan Highlights, AFC Asian Cup 2024:  India fell to a second straight defeat at the AFC Asian Cup 2024 on Thursday, losing 3-0 to Uzbekistan, all the goals coming in a torrid first half for Igor Stimac's team. The result put Uzbekistan in pole position to qualify along with Australia from Group B with one round of matches to go. The Uzbeks were ahead within five minutes in Doha, through an Abbosbek Fayzullaev header, the 20-year-old CSKA Moscow winger nodding in Otabek Shukurov's looping header. Their hopes of a comeback were extinguished during first-half stoppage time, Sherzod Nasrullaev exploiting some statuesque defending to notch a third. India, who were beaten 2-0 by Australia, sit bottom of the group with zero points and no goals.
Here are the Highlights of the AFC Asian Cup 2024 match between India and Uzbekistan:
