Uzbekistan and England knocked each other out of the 2009 World Youth Championship, as the two held each other to a 1-1 draw on Friday.
To keep a chance of advancing, both teams needed a comfortable win in their final group game after losing their previous two matches.
After 77 minutes at Suez As-Suwais stadium, things didn t look good for either side although Uzbekistan gave themselves a ray of hope as Ivan Nagaev broke the deadlock.
But the Uzbeks wouldn t score another and instead conceded an equalizer from England s Alex Tchuimeni-Nimely in the 88th minute.
Both teams have collected just one point in the group phase and Uzbekistan, although placed third, are certain of elimination as they aren t one of four best numbers three.
