Uzbekistan finish CAFA U19 Girl’s Futsal Championship as runners-up in Dushanbe

Uzbekistan confirmed their status at the tournament’s second-best side with a convincing 7-2 win over host nation Tajikistan in Dushanbe on Wednesday.

Iran were crowned as winners of the inaugural CAFA U19 Girl’s Futsal Championship after completing a clean sweep of their opponents with a 2-0 win against Kyrgyz Republic.

Tuesday's 7-1 triumph over title challengers Uzbekistan meant Iran knew the trophy would be theirs ahead of the final day of action, but Wednesday offered the chance to complete a perfect five wins from five; one they duly took despite a brave fight from their opponents.

Turkmenistan continued their terrific end to the tournament to finish in third place after Mariya Charyeva bagged a hat-trick in a 9-0 over last-placed Afghanistan.
