The FIFA U-17 World Cup Indonesia 2023 Round of 16 continues on Wednesday as former winners England take on Uzbekistan at the Jakarta International Stadium.
The Young Lions finished their group stage campaign with a narrow 2-1 defeat against Brazil, but still progressed to the knock-out stages as Group C leaders by virtue of goal difference after winning their first two games against New Caledonia (10-0) and Iran (2-1).
Ryan Garry’s side will now face an Uzbekistan side who reached the knockout phase as the four best third-placed teams during group stages. They finished with four points in Group B after beating Canada 3-0 in the opening game and earning a deserved point in a 2-2 draw against a star-studded Spain side in matchday three.
