Squad

Tempers go at Akzhaiyk

Amir Ben-Shimon 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

Rayan Al-Mousa 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.

Squad

No hiding place for Talgat Kuat

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Talgat Kuat, and the manager let it.

In brief

Match

Akzhaiyk out of the cup

Tobol ended it 2‑3. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Timur Nuserbayev

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market

Irtysh come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Akzhaiyk did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Player ratings

Up for the corner, and Alexandr Abdulov delivers — 7.64

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Alexandr Abdulov scored, was marked 7.64, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Squad

Rayan Al-Mousa in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Akzhaiyk this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Nurbol Nurgaliev gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
