Soon after, the guests doubled their lead with another shot from outside the box. This time, Soirov made it impossible for Yousuf Butt of Pakistan to stop the ball from going in. In response to Tajikistan’s first goal in the 21st minute, Rahis Nabi scored a stunning goal with his left foot. This gave the home team and their fans much-needed hope that they could get back into the game. The Green Shirts had a bad day with their team structure and moving without the ball because their centre wasn’t there at all in the first half.
It was because their midfielder wasn’t there that Tajikistan took advantage of the same open spots and scored another goal from outside the box in the 26th minute. But things didn’t get better for the home team; just before halftime, the guests scored another goal, giving the lead three goals and putting them in charge. Pakistan kept losing in the second half.
They couldn’t keep the ball for long periods, and their players had trouble hanging on to it and slowing down the game because every touch was going for the goal. This made it impossible for the team to have a proper structure. The Men in Green gave up another goal in the 65th minute. This one came from the edge of the box because they didn’t close down the gap in their penalty area.
Just before the end of the game, the away team got one more goal. Tajikistan won 1-6 in a very one-sided football game. Other than Nabi’s stunning goal in the first half, there were no pros to be seen during the game. In their first FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifier match, Pakistan lost to Saudi Arabia 4-0.
