Abdukodir Khusanov has signed and gifted an Uzbekistan shirt to the camera operator he collided with during his side’s 3-1 loss to Colombia in their first World Cup match.
Khusanov accidentally ran into the journalist during the game in Mexico City as he flew into a challenge with Luis Diaz on the touchline, sending both to the ground.
But the Uzbekistan FA announced on Thursday that they had presented the camera operator with a shirt signed by the Manchester City defender, with photos showing a message from Khusanov saying “I am sorry!”.
