Changzhou: Khojiakbar Alijonov’s first half strike proved the difference as Uzbekistan secured a vital and thrilling 1-0 win over China PR in Group A of the AFC U23 Championship 2018 on Friday.     The win leaves the Central Asians level with China on three points and, and with Qatar defeating Oman 1-0 in the day's second match, both teams can still genuinely harbour ambitions of sealing a spot in the quarter-finals with one game apiece still to play.     Uzbekistan will look to seal a place in the last eight when they tackle Oman in the final round of group stage matches on Monday, while China are scheduled to face Qatar.
