“Nasaf” vs “Pakhtakor”: a clash of pride and victory in Karshi

The central clash of Matchday 14 of the Super League is expected to evoke the atmosphere of a true derby. At the “Markaziy” stadium, fans will witness a confrontation between two of modern Uzbek football’s leading clubs — Nasaf from Karshi and Pakhtakor from Tashkent.

Nasaf, which started the season undefeated and is continuing at a high pace, is currently in strong sporting form and does not allow opponents to claim victory on its home ground. The team’s confident performances in recent rounds are clear proof of this.

So far, these two teams have faced off 56 times in league competition. In total, Pakhtakor leads the history — with 30 wins. The “Dragons” (Nasaf) have won 12 matches, and 14 encounters ended in draws. But the battles in Karshi have been much more dramatic. Out of 28 matches there, Nasaf has won 10, Pakhtakor 9, and 9 ended in draws.

Notably, Pakhtakor hasn’t won or scored in Karshi since 2021. After a dramatic 3-2 victory at that time, the next matches ended in goalless draws and a 1-0 win for Nasaf. For the Tashkent team, this is a moment for payback, and for Nasaf — a chance to continue the legacy.

Both teams have captured the hearts of fans this season with high-level performances. That’s why tomorrow’s match at 20:00 will make every goal, every combination, and every move especially meaningful. This is not just a battle for points, but a clash for pride and history. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
