The national football team of Turkmenistan completed the performance at CAFA-2023
The national team of Turkmenistan lost to the team of Oman in the third round of the Cup of Nations of the Central Asian Football Association - CAFA Nations Cup-2023.
The meeting, held at the stadium "Pakhtakor", ended with a score of 2:0 in favor of the Omani team.
The score in the match was opened towards the end of the first half after a mistake by the previously reliable goalkeeper of Turkmenistan Resul Charyev. The goalkeeper, after hitting al-Yahya, awkwardly reflected the ball in front of him, and Mushaifri calmly finished him off into the net.
In the second half, experienced players such as Arslanmurad Amanov and Didar Durdyev appeared on the field as part of the Turkmen team. There were more dangerous moments at the opponent's goal, but they did not turn into goals scored.
At the 76th minute, the Turkmen team finally lost the chance to reach the playoffs. Charyev unsuccessfully assessed the episode and left the gate, giving the ball to al- Akhbari. The halfback did not become greedy and left the "round" for al-Sabha, who easily doubled the lead of his team.
In a parallel match of group "A" Uzbekistan defeated Tajikistan with a score of 5:1.
Following the results of three rounds, the Uzbek team, having scored 9 points, reached the final of the tournament from the first place, where it will meet with the winner of the "B" quartet, Iran. The teams of Kyrgyzstan and Oman, who took second places in their groups, will play in the match for bronze medals.
