China vs. Uzbekistan 2013 Battles in Thursday Soccer Friendly

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – China vs. Uzbekistan 2013 (live score results below) delivers an international soccer friendly Friday in the predawn morning hours for west coast U.S. fans. The game will head to Tianhe Stadium, officials tell news. And while China won’t be heading into World Cup qualifiers after this game, Uzbekistan will be this June.

China vs. Uzbekistan 2013 (start time 4:30 am PST) is the final showdown for Uzbekistan before a series of important games this month. Uzbekistan after this friendly will face Korea and Qatar to two World Cup qualifiers this month, reps remind news.

Uzbekistan is hoping to continue its impressive record in qualifiers in recent month. Back in 2012, Uzbekistan won back to back qualifiers. It beat Qatar in a 0-1 final score and then did the same against Iran. Then in March, it came back to deliver the same score against Lebanon in another qualifier. Uzbekistan’s only non wins in recent months have been two ACQ games in which it drawed against Hong Kong and was defeated by UAE.

China, however, has been struggling in recent month. It failed to pick up wins in its final two games of 2012. This year, they only have one win in three games, after a recent match against Iraq. In fact, in five games, China has one win, three losses and one draw, officials tell news.

After Thursday’s match, China battles the Netherlands and Thailand in friendly matches this month. For live score results tonight click HERE.
