Oliy Liga. Vadim Abramov's FC Neftchi played out a 1-1 draw with FC Sogdiyona in Fergana

FC Neftchi suffered another disappointing result in Oliy Liga as they were held to a 1-1 draw by FC Sogdiyona at the Istiklol Stadium yesterday evening.

Vadim Abramov's side were in need or a morale-boosting win after an unsuccessful campaign in the second phase of Oliy Liga since July.

FC Sogdiyona were handed an early setback when Azamat Isroilov capitalised on some more weak Chinars defending to put FC Sogdiyona ahead on 10 minutes.

Sherzod Khakimov equalised for the hosts through penalty kick five minutes to complete while FC Neftchi escaped from a defeat in front of the home crowd.
