During the friendly match between the national teams of Canada and Uzbekistan, the latter with Fabio Cannavaro on the bench, the public witnessed an action that was nothing short of bizarre. An Uzbekistan player sprints forward, putting the Canadian defense in difficulty, which responds decidedly poorly to the threat: a defender falls, sliding on the ball, just before being hit by a teammate as he tries to get up. So goals? No! The Uzbek striker Shomurodov, formerly of Roma, makes a mistake in front of the goalkeeper with a decidedly poorly calculated lob. The friendly match then ends 2-0 for Canada.
