The tone was set inside the opening minute when Ismahil Akinade nodded wide for Andijon, before the home side responded with attempts through Arzuvguly Sapargulyyev’s free-kick and Sanazar Tirkisow’s effort - with both failing to trouble keeper Erzhan Tokotaev.

The game came alive at the quarter-hour mark with Arkadag’s Didar Durdyyew’s header drawing a smart save from Tokotaev, before successive efforts from Yazgylyc Gurbanow and Guycmyrat Annagulyyew were blocked inside the area.

At the other end, Shahzod Azmiddinov’s headed attempt failed to find the  target, while Doniyor Abdumannopov and Saidumarkhon Saidnurullaev saw their shots repelled by a resolute Arkadag defence.

Andijon began to settle into a rhythm, probing through Damir Temirov and Abdumannopov but Arkadag continued to threaten on the break. Ahmet Atayew’s long-range attempt curled just wide in the 36th minute, while Welmyrat Ballakow forced another block from distance.

Arkadag returned after the break with renewed purpose with Tirkisow testing Tokotaev from close range in the 50th minute, while Krystian Nowak came close with a response just after the hour mark when he steered his header wide.

With 10 minutes remaining, the momentum shifted in favour of the home side when substitute Samannet Hydyrow wriggled free inside the six-yard-box, only to see his low drive foiled by Tokotaev as the points were shared.
