The Uzbekistan vs Colombia stats hub tracks Group K Match 24 at Mexico City Stadium, where the Uzbekistan national football team meet the Colombia national football team. Uzbekistan arrive as World Cup debutants with a strong clean-sheet rate and a compact defensive base. Colombia bring the higher FIFA ranking, stronger xG, heavier shot volume, and a mature attack led by Luis Diaz and James Rodriguez.
The match kicks off at 22:00 ET on 17 June 2026, which is 20:00 local time in Mexico City. It sits in the World Cup 2026 group stage matches schedule with Portugal and DR Congo also in Group K.

Uzbekistan vs Colombia Stats – Match Statistics Overview
Colombia hold the stronger pre-match attacking profile. Their public team averages show 1.56 xG, 2.5 goals, 13.1 shots, and 60% possession. Uzbekistan sit lower in chance creation and ball share, yet their defensive record gives them a clear route into the match.
The contrast is direct. Colombia can control the ball and attack through wide dribblers, while Uzbekistan need discipline, compact distances, and clean counters. If Uzbekistan keep the first hour tight, their 60% clean-sheet rate becomes more than a footnote.

Attacking Stats Comparison
Colombia lead the attacking comparison through volume and finishing. Their 2.5 goals from 13.1 shots and 1.56 xG show a side that can turn moderate chance quality into real scoring output. Diaz gives them direct running, while James can slow the game and find the final pass.
Uzbekistan’s attack is more controlled than explosive. Their 1.4 goals from 9.4 shots and 1.20 xG point to a side that needs good shot selection. Eldor Shomurodov and Abbosbek Fayzullaev will need to make the first transition pass count.

Defensive Stats Comparison
Uzbekistan’s defensive data keeps the matchup alive. They concede 0.7 goals per match and hold a 60% clean-sheet rate in the current public sample. That profile supports a compact match plan against Colombia’s stronger attacking talent.
Colombia’s defensive record is balanced rather than dominant. They concede 1.0 goal and 1.04 xG against per match, with a 50% clean-sheet rate. That still gives Colombia a solid base, but it leaves space for Uzbekistan if the debutants can attack with numbers after recoveries.
| Stat | Uzbekistan | Colombia |

Passing and Possession Analysis
Colombia’s 60% possession average gives them the stronger control marker. They can hold the ball through midfield, pull Uzbekistan out of shape, and isolate wide players against the full-backs. Uzbekistan’s 45% average suggests they may need longer defensive phases.
Full passing data is not available from the official match feed yet. Pass totals, pass accuracy, key passes, long balls, and crossing accuracy stay yet to be confirmed. The strongest current read comes from possession, xG, shots, and defensive output.

Key Player Statistics
Player event data will update once FIFA opens the official match feed. Uzbekistan’s card lists Abdukodir Khusanov, Eldor Shomurodov, and Abbosbek Fayzullaev because they define the defensive spine, finishing route, and creative layer. Colombia’s card lists Luis Diaz, James Rodriguez, and Jhon Arias because they shape the main ball-carrying, chance-creation, and wide pressing patterns.
Uzbekistan – Abdukodir Khusanov
Abdukodir Khusanov gives Uzbekistan the centre-back profile needed against Colombia’s wide speed. He must defend space behind the line and help Uzbekistan survive long pressure phases. His duels could decide how often Colombia turn possession into clean shots.
Colombia – Luis Diaz
Luis Diaz is Colombia’s most direct attacking weapon. His dribbling can stretch Uzbekistan’s block and force help defenders away from central zones. If Colombia create early isolation for him, their xG edge could grow quickly.
Expected Goals Analysis
The xG comparison gives Colombia a 1.56 to 1.20 lead. That gap is not huge, but it aligns with Colombia’s shot volume, possession, and finishing edge. Colombia should create more pressure if they keep the ball in Uzbekistan’s half.
Uzbekistan’s defensive record is the counterweight. A 60% clean-sheet rate and 0.7 goals conceded per match show enough resistance to keep the game close. The match may turn on whether Colombia convert pressure before Uzbekistan’s counterattacks settle.
