Abbosbek Fayzullaev scored Uzbekistan's first-ever goal in a FIFA World Cup final on June 2, 2024, netting an equalizer against Colombia. The goal came in the 47th minute of the match, marking a historic moment for Uzbek football. Fayzullaev, a midfielder for PFC CSKA Moscow, received a pass from Sherzod Esanov and calmly finished past the Colombian goalkeeper. This achievement places Uzbekistan in the record books for their debut goal in the tournament's final stage. The match concluded with a 2-1 victory for Colombia, but Fayzullaev's strike remains a significant milestone for his nation's footballing history.
