“This win is dedicated to the fans,” said Akhmedov. “Ravshan is a good team, it wasn’t easy for us but I especially like how we did in the first half, it was matured football that we showed.
“Compared to the previous game, Ravshan were much better this time. Maybe in the last 20 minutes we took control but for sure Ravshan improved since the last game.
“It was a very important game for us. The players were tired but it’s a credit to them that they continued to fight and we got the result that we wanted.”
Aizar Akmatov struck the only goal of the match four minutes after the half-time interval for Abdysh-Ata to achieve the same scoreline they did in the reverse fixture against Ravshan on Matchday Three.
With only two more rounds of matches remaining in Group E, Abdysh-Ata are on 10 points, three better than their nearest challengers, Altyn Asyr FC who they will meet on Matchday Five, where avoiding defeat would see Abdysh-Ata confirmed as group winners.
