Mukhamadiev challenges Istiklol to take 'biggest step'

Hisor: FC Istiklol coach Mukhsin Mukhamadiev called on his players to take their "biggest step" ahead of the 2017 AFC Cup final when they face defending champions Air Force Club of Iraq later on Saturday.

Two years ago, the Tajikistan club went all the way to the tournament's showpiece event in their competition debut but lost at home to Malaysia's Johor Darul Ta'zim in a 1-0 defeat in Dushanbe.

In their second AFC Cup Final appearance, though, Mukhamadiev is adamant his players are ready for redemption.
