Yesterday, within the framework of the last stage of the Conference League qualifiers, the “Istanbul Basaksehir” – “Craiova” match took place. In it, the visitors won with a score of 2:1.
This duel was held with a struggle for every episode on the field, and the result remained complicated until the last minutes. The visitors were able to keep the necessary advantage, while the hosts allowed shortcomings in converting chances into goals.
In the clash, our compatriots: Eldor Shomurodov played the full 90 minutes, while Abbosbek Fayzullaev joined the game in the 77th minute and carried out his debut. In this setup, Shomurodov’s constant movement on the pitch, his fight on the front line, and his contribution in holding the ball stood out. Fayzullaev, for his part, from his very first minutes with the new team, feeling the tempo, showed himself on the flank with speed and the dynamics of movements.
Sofascore gave a 6,3 rating to Eldor Shomurodov’s actions in this match. For his debut clash, Fayzullaev was deemed worthy of a 6,7 rating. These indicators are accepted in game analytics as a neutral criterion and show that there are growth points for both in the next clashes.
For Shomurodov, the full 90 minutes is an indication of trust at the preparation stage and of his role in the team scheme. He proved useful in using his body when receiving the ball, in starting attacks from depth, and in synchronizing his teammates. At the same time, it was visible that there is a reserve in terms of accuracy when entering the final phase and in quick decision-making.
Fayzullaev’s debut is an important psychological stage: entering the game in the 77th minute, he aimed to adapt to the rhythm, organize dangerous entries from the flank, and leave a positive first impression. His attempts at dribbling and his search for space in off-the-ball movement were aimed at distracting the opponent.
Briefly speaking, the visitors’ victory provided an impulse for the next upcoming stage. For our compatriots, the conclusions drawn from this clash are important: Eldor Shomurodov — with stable game time and experience — will continue to fight for superiority on the front line, while Abbosbek Fayzullaev — at the step after the debut — aims to increase efficiency in accordance with his playing role.
In the next matches, to improve these ratings, the decisive factor will be the speed of decision-making, accuracy in final shots, and an increase in the number of creative passes. New match days will provide the opportunity to turn this analysis into a practical result.
