Match

Cup progress for Obod

A 2‑1 win over Neftchi, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Match

Obod tear Metallurg apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 3‑0 against Metallurg, and it could have been more.

Player ratings

Rustam Ismailov scores twice — 8.45

Two goals and a mark of 8.45 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings

Jasur Ahmedov, 21, steals the show — 7.77

Marked 7.77 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Market

Amir Ismailov hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Obod can pretend not to have heard.

Match

Nobody wants to play Obod right now

3 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Squad

Tempers go at Obod

Mahmud Jo'raboyev was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Nodir Fayzullaev falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The terraces

Obod supporters have found a favourite in Azamat Komilov

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Azamat Komilov has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match

Chastening afternoon for Obod

A 1‑4 beating by Pakhtakor was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Squad

6 saves: Ozodbek Marufov was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Player ratings

A chastening introduction for Davit Mchedlidze — 5.80

It is a hard way to meet a crowd. Marked 5.80 on the day he was handed the shirt, and the important thing now is what the next one looks like.

Squad

Words exchanged at Obod

Jaloliddin Hasanov and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

A row about effort at Obod

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Nodir Fayzullaev was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad

Jaloliddin Ganiev out for 58 days

The medical room confirms 58 days on the sidelines for Jaloliddin Ganiev, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Boardroom

Doors closed at Obod

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

The dugout

Sherzod Ahmedov answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑4, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The dugout

Jaloliddin Hasanov has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Obod will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.
