FC Pakhtakor overturn an early deficit to see off FC Metallurg by a 2-1 scoreline

Islombek Isokjonov scored his first league goal for FC Metallurg to give them the lead on the stroke of half time, but they could have no complaints when FC Pakhtakor equalised through Dragan Ceran just 1 minute later.

However, parity lasted about 25 minutes before Dragan Ceran provided the home side's lead, and that proved to secure a 2-1 win for the Lions.
