England’s Under-17 team were dumped out of the age-group FIFA World Cup 2023 by Uzbekistan, despite the Asian country’s manager being shown a red card for deliberately kicking the ball into the stands. Greg Lincoln’s side finished on top of their group in Indonesia and had been expected to progress to the last eight against a side ranked 73rd in the world. But they fell behind in Jakarta to a goal from Amirbek Saidov before Manchester City’s Joel Ndala equalised with his third goal of the tournament. A free-kick from Lazizbek Mirzaev midway through the second half proved to be the winning goal despite Ndala striking the post as England chased the game. Uzbekistan’s manager, Jamoliddin Rahmatullayev, was shown a red card after preventing England from taking a quick throw-in by booting the ball into the stands in the dying moments of the game.
