New Delhi, July 15 -- The India U20 women's national team drew 1-1 against Uzbekistan in the first of two friendly matches at the Do'stlik Stadium, in Tashkent, as per the official website of the All India Football Federation (AIFF).

Mexribon Egamberdiyeva (38') opened the scoring for the hosts, but Sulanjana Raul (79') equalised for India late in the second half.

The match, which was scheduled to kick off on Sunday, was postponed by 24 hours due to operational challenges at the venue.

Egamberdiyeva, who has already amassed four caps for the senior Uzbekistan women's team, found herself at the right spot in the Indian box, to slot home the first goal, with just minutes left in the first 45 minutes.
