“As we previously reported, the youth teams of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan played two matches in Tashkent. The national teams of Uzbekistan U-21 and U-20 turned out to be stronger than their rivals from Kazakhstan.

The Uzbekistan U-21 national team defeated its neighbors with a score of 1:0. The U-20 team defeated the Kazakh football players with a score of 3:1.

After two defeats, the senior coach of the Kazakhstan youth team, Denis Mamonov, left his position. He noted that the players were unable to capitalize on their chances and could not withstand the pressure emotionally.
