MMA Fighter Gaforov: If Goalkeeper Saves The Day, Tajikistan National Football Team Will Reach Asian Cup Semifinals

ACA flyweight Grand Prix semifinalist Azam Gaforov in an exclusive interview with Telecomasia.net told how his native Tajikistan celebrated the victory of the football team over the UAE team and their reaching the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup.

Azam Gaforov exclusively for Telecom Asia Sport
This is a great result for our national team and country. I am not a fan of football, but I know that this is the first time they are playing in the Asian Cup. And the result is immediately great. It's a great joy for everyone. Nobody in Tajikistan slept until morning yesterday. I saw on social media how cars were driving around and honking, celebrating the victory. Our national team has a very strong goalkeeper, so we can pass Iraq or Jordan in the quarterfinals if Rustam Yatimov keeps the clean sheet in regulation time and saves all the penalties.

Recall that the match between the national teams of Tajikistan and the UAE ended 1-1 in regulation time. In a penalty shootout, the Tajik players proved to be stronger - 5-4. In the quarterfinals of the Asian tournament, the national team of Tajikistan will play with the winner of the match between Iraq and Jordan.
