"I believe this victory is not about a goalkeeper or a single player."

Karimov, who was named the best player of the match against Iran, reflected on the game: "Each of us played well. I thank my teammates for their effort. We believed in each other and fought hard. We showed determination. There was no time to recover after yesterday's match. We play for our country, our homeland, our parents, and our loved ones to make them happy."
