I watched both matches at the same time.
Good riddance Uzbekistan. Absolutely pathetic team who played negative mindless football against the worst Korean team in 20 years. They barely created any chances in front of their packed stadium as they only needed a win to make the World Cup for the first time (Qatar and China beat Korea in their homes).
Needless to say, I noticed after 80th minute, Uzbeks completely parking the bus (giving up on even trying to score) and hoping to maintain a draw, thinking it'll seal their play-off place as we were leading Syria.
It was the last free kick of the game when Syria scored the equalizer, and the final whistle went off in Tashkent. Uzbek players were sad, not devastated, as they thought they had made their annual play-off to bottle. NAH !
Pathetic team and mentality by their manager, and I feel bad for their fans.
I'm glad Syria is in play-offs as hopefully they'll give a much better game to 8-0ers (fingers crossed) than Uzbeks would have.
