Asian Games
Uzbekistan were 3-0 winners against Saudi Arabia while Korea Republic produced a dominant 4-0 win against Vietnam.
Uzbekistan 3-0 Saudi Arabia
The Central Asian side opened the scoring after 12 minutes when Sardorbek Bakhromov’s free-kick was parried by Yazan Al Ruwaili but Dilshod Murtazaev was on hand to knock the rebound home.
Saudi Arabia tried to fight back and offered stiff resistance until the 79th minute when Azizbek Tulkunbekov put Uzbekistan 2-0 ahead before Firdavs Abdurakhmanov’s 86th strike put the result beyond doubt.
Uzbekistan will next take on either Japan or DPR Korea in the semi-final on Wednesday.
Korea Republic 4-0 Vietnam
Korea Republic controlled proceedings from the opening whistle and it wasn’t long before they found the opener, Lee Young-jun putting the defending champions 1-0 up in the 15th minute.
Despite dominating the match and restricting Vietnam to no shot on target, Korea Republic had to be patient with the second goal only arriving in the 77th minute through Kim Ji-soo.
A tired Vietnam then had trouble containing Korea Republic who went on to add two more goals through Lee (81st) and Kim Myeong-jun (88th) and will face the winners of the China PR versus Thailand tie in the semi-finals.
