Kuktosh 3-1 Fayzkand
(Shodiev 45+1, Ikramov 87, Abdugafarov 90+7; Rustamov 22)
Kuktosh overcame Fayzkand to bounce back from a rocky run of league form. Rustamov’s 22nd-minute penalty put the visitors in front, but Shodiev’s downward volley from distance skimmed through the mixer to equalise just before the half-time whistle. A draw looked almost certain as the end loomed, but Ikramov reacted quickest at the near post to guide home a speculative delivery in the 87th minute. Fayzkand’s woes deepened in injury time, conceding a second spot-kick. This time Abdugafarov stepped up to blast down the middle.
