Uzbekistan managed one but could not sustain pressure against Colombia's superior finishing. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Colombia extended their lead at the top of the group with 3 points, consolidating their 1st position status. Uzbekistan remained in 4th place with no points from two matches, their goal difference now severely damaged at minus 7.

Uzbekistan conceded 3 goals in their second consecutive defeat, extending a winless run to two matches. They managed 1 goal but could not contain Colombia's attacking play. Their defensive frailty persisted; clean sheets remain absent across their last 5 outings. The 0-5 loss to Portugal followed by this 1-3 result suggests structural vulnerabilities that have not been addressed.
Colombia secured a 3-1 victory to maintain their unbeaten record in this competition. They scored 3 goals while conceding 1, continuing their attacking efficiency. Both recent matches have seen both teams score; their 1-0 win versus Congo DR and this result show they are converting chances consistently.
