Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Sports Service: The final of the second edition of the CAF football tournament was held between the national teams of Iran and Uzbekistan in Tashkent at 6:00 PM, and at the end of 120 minutes, Uzbekistan won and became the champion with a single goal by Alijunov in the 120th minute.
With only one minute and 15 seconds left in the match, Iran defender Arya Yousefi's carelessness in clearing the ball in midfield and the subsequent collision of his boot with the shin of Uzbekistan's left winger Faizullahov led Kyrgyz referee Abdikadrov Nurzatbekov to review the scene after one minute and, based on the opinion of VAR referee Saadollah Gulmurad, to show the Iranian right-back a red card. Iran continued to play with 10 men for about 118 minutes of official time.
A late goal by Uzbekistan in the final minute of extra time broke the deadlock and prevented Iran from winning the trophy.
