The Uzbekistan captain, who plays for Chinese Super League side Shanghai SIPG, picked up his 18th goal international goal after he curled his effort past goalkeeper Faiyz Al Rusheidi.

Oman finally beat Nesterov in the 72nd minute after substitute Muhsen Al Ghassani, who came on for Khalid Al-Hajri, beat the offside trap to score past the Uzbekistan shot stopper.

Uzbekistan, however, were undeterred by the Oman equaliser and their positive response saw Shomurodov scoring with a left-footed shot from the left side of the box to the bottom left corner in the 85th minute to seal an emphatic win.
