Player ratings

Aleksandar Boljević runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Ljupce Doriev 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 Sogdiana this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Talks stall between Sogdiana and Luka Đorđević

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Market

36 months and counting on Ljupce Doriev

Still no offer on the table, and Ljupce Doriev’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Match

Luka Đorđević rescues a point for Sogdiana

It needed Luka Đorđević to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Shortan, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Squad

Javohir Qahramonov dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Match

Sogdiana turn it around against Obod

Going 2 down does something to a side, and what it usually does is finish them. Not here. Sogdiana rebuilt the afternoon goal by goal, and Obod had no answer to any of it.

Player ratings

Otabek Jo'raqo'ziyev scores twice — 8.06

Two goals and a mark of 8.06 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad

Aleksandar Boljević stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Aleksandar Boljević and Sogdiana agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Tempers go at Sogdiana

Ljupce Doriev 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.

Match

Otabek Jo'raqo'ziyev the difference as Sogdiana beat Obod

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Otabek Jo'raqo'ziyev. 3‑2 against Obod, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Market

Eyes on Samandar Sindarov again

The phone has started ringing about Samandar Sindarov again, and this time the name on the line is Obod. Sogdiana are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Nikola Mirković

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Aleksandar Boljević

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Suhrob Izzatov 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.
