Fresh from their 2-0 Asian Champions League victory over Al Ittihad in Syria in midweek, Kuruvchi wasted no time setting about their hosts.

Ulugbek Bakaev opened the scoring after just four minutes before Rashid Gafurov doubled the advantage after 28 minutes.

Umid Isakov pulled a goal back for Kyzylkum seven minutes after the break and that was how the scoreline stayed until late in the game.

Sergey Lushan made it 3-1 in the 86th minute before Victor Karpenko added a fourth two minutes later.

Anvar Soliev then completed the scoring deep into stoppage-time to help Kuruvchi remain two points ahead of fellow ACL participants Pakhtakor, who outclassed Shurtan 4-0 with all the goals coming in the second half.

Alexander Geynrikh gave Pakhtakor the lead from the spot 10 minutes after half-time before Zaynitdin Tadjiyev made it 2-0 in the 66th minute.

Ilhom Suyunov put the result beyond doubt with a third after 78 minutes before Tadjiyev grabbed his second two minutes from time.
