Qatar loses to Uzbekistan in Asian Cup opener

By Shourin Roy on January 7, 2011 8:05 PM | Comments | TrackBacksShare|

Odil Akhmedov scored from a 30 yard belter to give the Uzbekis the lead. The goal was reminiscent of Siphiwe Tshabalala's scorcher for SA against Mexico in the World Cup's opening game. The Qataris then went to sleep as Server Djeparov intercepted a pass and added to the tally.

The lesson learned by Qatar's royal family will be to increase pay and naturalize foreign born talent more quickly.
