Stefan Sicaci keeps Zhetysu in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 9 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Zhetysu turn down Atyrau for Nūrbergen Nūrbol
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Po'latxo'ja Xoldorxonov will not be coming to Zhetysu

Abzal Baizhanov steps up from the Zhetysu academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Abzal Baizhanov has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

One of our own: Askhat Shomko joins the Zhetysu first team

In brief
- Match Zhetysu come up short against Aktobe
- The dugout Maxim Orazov faces the questions
- Transfer targets A loan move for René Mitongo is in the works
