The Obod Sentinel

9 saves: Farhod Akhmedov was the team
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 9 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.
Match12 Aug 2026
Obod out of the cup
Pakhtakor ended it 0‑3. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

A cup embarrassment at Pakhtakor follows Obod home
0-3. Going out of a cup is one afternoon; going out like that is a week of phone-ins, and the manager will hear every one of them.

Tempers go at Obod
Umid Mirzaev 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.
Transfer targets17 Aug 2026
Bunyodkor tell Obod: Sadriddin Hasanov is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.
Match15 Aug 2026
Neftchi take the points off Obod
Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
The dugout17 Aug 2026
No hiding place for Farhod Akhmedov
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Farhod Akhmedov, and the manager let it.
Boardroom17 Aug 2026
Nobody left the Obod dressing room in a hurry
The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.
The dugout17 Aug 2026
Odil Mirzaev: “No excuses”
“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 1‑2, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.
In brief
- Transfer targets Obod ask about Muhammadali G'iyosov
