Sherzod Esanov’s goal not enough for Bukhara
Sherzod Esanov scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Obod, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

A falling-out at Bukhara
Temur Mamasiddiqov and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

A row about effort at Bukhara
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Sardor Qulmatov was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The manager’s verdict
“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 1‑2 Nodir Suyunov left the room before anybody could ask which.

Bukhara keep their word to Javohir Ro'ziyev
Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

Ibroxim Numonov 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.

Dominik Begić knocks on the manager's door
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Bukhara, and both men came out saying it was fine.

A ban for Vladimir Rodić
One booking too many, and a game watched from the stand. Bukhara lose him for the most avoidable reason in the sport.

Anvarjon Jo'rayev changes it off the bench
He was not in the side at half past three and he had settled it before five. Half an hour, and Bukhara had a different afternoon.
