Kazakhstan futsal team played (2:2) with Uzbekistan

The head coach Ricardo Kaka mostly relied on youth players Damir Kairbay and Batyrkhan Kenzhegali in this match, and also gave Nurkanat Baktiyarov a chance to play his first match for the national team. Moreover, Torekhan Dosov and Zhakhangir Rashit returned to the national team after a long break.

Despite this, the start of the match was successful for the Kazakhstani team, when Arnold Knaub scored a goal in the second minute. The Uzbekistan national team was able to equalize the score in the middle of the first half thanks to a goal from Elbek Tulkinov.

In the second half, the guests took the lead, but the Kazakhstani players were able to equalize the score 40 seconds before the end of the match. Chingis Yessenamanov scored his 30th goal for the national team.
