We’re now in the knock-out stages of the AFC Asian Cup 2007 and I’m now in Jakarta. Today is the day we will see the fate of 2 countries in the quarter-final match. Giant killer Uzbekistan, who recently thrashed China 3-0 over at the Shah Alam Stadium will now face Saudi Arabia here in Indonesia. The winner of this round will proceed to the last final four teams in the semis.

As usual, I spent a little time on the field before going to the VIP tribune for more photos. Managed to shoot some warming up photos of both teams before the death match starts.
