Manuchehr Dzhalilov: FC Istiklol can win the AFC Cup

Dushanbe: After a disappointing AFC Cup campaign last year, 2015 runners-up FC Istiklol have returned in style in this year’s competition, winning Group D with an unbeaten record to be crowned Central Asian Zonal champions.

Manuchehr Dzhalilov netted four times in the Tajik side’s run to the final two years ago, but has already bettered that tally with five this time round. The-AFC.com caught up with the instrumental striker ahead of the Inter-Zone Semi-final, first leg against Ceres Negros of the Philippines on Tuesday.
