France and Uzbekistan will face off in an intriguing quarter-final clash in the FIFA U17 World Cup on Saturday.
After finishing at the summit of Group E, France were in a spot of bother in the Round of 16 as Senegal held the European side to a stalemate before penalties. But the composed French side saw all of their five spot kicks being converted as Senegal could score only three penalties helping France set up a clash with a high-flying Uzbekistan side.
Uzbekistan continued to write their own fairytale as they clinched an iconic 2-1 victory against England sending the former champions back home. Amirbek Saidov continued his sublime goalscoring touch scoring Uzbekistan's first goal as Lazizbek Mirzaev's second-half goal paved the way for Uzbekistan to reach the quarter finals.
