Uzbekistan receive a 1-0 defeat from Belarus in UAE

Vadim Abramov’s experimental side were undone by Pavel Nekhaychik’s first half goal, which consigned the White Wolves to a defeat in their opening senior fixture of 2020.

The Eastern European side took the lead in the 26th minute, when a pass from 24-year-old Igor Stasevich found 31-year-old Nekhaychik, who stayed onside, rounded Suyunov and calmly deposited the ball into the empty net.

Belarus were awarded a penalty when Igor Burko was brought down by Oybek Bozorov – another debutant - just before the hour mark, but Suyunov made a terrific diving save to his left to deny Stanislav Dragun’s spot-kick.

Uzbekistan will have their full complement of players back when they play a friendly against Armenia on March 26, with the White Wolves to resume their Asian Qualifiers Group D campaign away to Yemen five days later.
