In the first semi-final of the U23 Asian Cup that ended in the early morning of April 30, Beijing time, the Uzbekistan Olympic team defeated the big dark horse Indonesian Olympic team 2-0 and advanced to the finals.

In the first half, neither side was able to find the back of the net, with Uzbekistan hitting the post by Briyev. Yibian fought again, and the Indonesian team scored the first goal. In the 61st minute, the Uzbek goalkeeper made a mistake and Indonesian defender Ferrari scored, but because his teammate Sananta was offside, Chinese referee Shen Yinhao ruled that the goal was invalid.

Just seven minutes later, Uzbekistan finally got on the scoresheet when Norchaev broke the deadlock by slotting home from the middle.

After that, Uzbekistan, whose morale was boosted, hit the post twice in a row in the 71st and 77th minutes. After the score fell behind, the Indonesian players also played more and more urgently. In the 84th minute of the game, Indonesian captain Ramadani kicked the key part of Uzbekistan captain Jasbek and was sent off by Chinese referee Shen Yinhao. The Indonesian team, which is one goal behind, is also facing the dilemma of playing one less.

In the 86th minute, Abdukodir made a header, and Rifaiu accidentally put himself on an own goal, so Uzbekistan, which played one more person, successfully sealed the victory 2-0.

This is the third time Uzbekistan has reached the final of the last four U23 Asian Cups, after the Central Asian powerhouse won one runner-up and one title.

In the final, Uzbekistan will wait for the winner between Japan and Iraq. The losing Indonesian Olympic team still has a chance to participate in the Olympic Games for the first time, and if they can win the third-place match, the Indonesian Olympic team will lock up one place.
