The first match of the new season, part of the first round of the Uzbekistan Super League, took place in Bukhara, where the hosts managed to delight their fans. "Bukhara" defeated "Kokand-1912" 1:0 at home and started the championship with a victory. In the very first match of the new season, the team showed discipline, enthusiasm, and the ability to work for results.
The only goal that decided the match was scored at the very beginning of the match. The hosts created a dangerous situation in front of the opponent's goal with one of their quick attacks, and Sherzod Esanov successfully completed this opportunity. After a precise and convenient pass from Javohir Ro'ziyev, he directed the ball into the net, putting "Buxoro" ahead. This early goal gave the hosts a certain advantage throughout the game, and the team focused on keeping the score for the remaining time.
"Bukhara" started the match actively and confidently. The team moved in an orderly manner on the field, striving to gain an advantage in the struggles for the ball, and did not give the opponent much freedom of breathing. Even after the first goal, the hosts didn't retreat entirely, but rather tried to hold the reins of the game. This demonstrated the team's thorough preparation for the new season.
"Qo'qon-1912" tried to return to the game after conceding a goal. The Fergana team tried to take control of the ball, increase pressure in the front line, and save the situation. However, due to the hosts' discipline in defense and disciplined play, the visitors often couldn't create what they wanted. Despite some substitutions and improvements in attack, Qo'qon-1912 were unable to equalize.
It cannot be said that both teams lacked fighting spirit during the match. There were many uncompromising duels on the field, therefore the referee also recorded warnings. Shahzod Akramov received a yellow card for Qo'qon-1912, while Dominik Begich received a yellow card for Bukhara. This also means that the match was not easy, there was a serious struggle for every meter of the field.
The goal scorer, Sherzod Esanov, and his assistant, Javohir Ro'ziyev, attracted the most attention from Bukhara. Their mutual agreement presented a decisive episode of the meeting. At the same time, the hosts reliably moved along the defensive line, maintaining a minimal advantage until the very end. In such games, maintaining a single goal count also requires great skill.
