At Shangcheng Stadium, Indonesia had a quality addition to the attack when striker Ramadhan Sananta arrived. The archipelago nation played defensive counter-attacks, creating opportunities in the first 10 minutes but then let Uzbekistan completely control the game.

The Central Asian team missed five one-on-one situations with goalkeeper Ernando Ari in the official 90 minutes of play. Entering extra time, the Indonesian defense system made mistakes, allowing substitute striker Sherzod Esanov to score in the 92nd minute.

In the 110th minute, from a free kick on the left wing, Sananta headed the ball into the Uzbekistan net but it was disallowed due to an offside. The Indonesian players gradually lost control of their mentality. In the 113th minute, 18-year-old striker Hugo Samir received a red card for hitting his opponent. Playing with 10 men, Indonesia conceded another goal in the third minute of extra time and the scorer was still Esanov.

The other match of the day also ended in a win for the stronger team, as Saudi Arabia defeated India 2-0.

The quarter-finals will take place on October 1, and with the exception of Hong Kong, the rest have shown their strength above the rest. The four quarter-final pairs are Uzbekistan - Saudi Arabia, Iran - Hong Kong, Japan - North Korea and China - South Korea.
