Man City World Cup 2026 Watch: Abdukodir Khusanov’s Uzbekistan handed opening group-stage loss

Abdukodir Khusanov played the full 90 minutes as Uzbekistan suffered a 3-1 defeat to Colombia in their 2026 FIFA World Cup opener on Wednesday night.

Daniel Munoz gave Néstor Gabriel Lorenzo’s side a vital lead on the cusp of half-time in Mexico City in the Group K game.

However, a valiant Uzbek spell saw Abbosbek Fayzullaev level proceedings on the hour mark but the south Americans took full advantage of their familiarity with the match conditions, with Bayern Munich star Luis Diaz restoring his nation’s lead after 65 minutes.

Jaminton Campaz added a third for Colombia deep in injury time as Khusanov and Uzbekistan suffer a gutting defeat in their opening World Cup fixture.
