Spartak Moscow stun Uzbek league champions with 4-0 win

Uzbek league champions Pakhtakor travelled to Moscow to take on 10-time Russian Premier League champions Spartak Moscow.

Back to back AFC Champions League wins may have instilled a sense of confidence in the Tashkent outfit, but the loss of five players to Uzbekistan national team duty proved too much for Shota Arveladze’s side to overcome, with the Russian side cruising to a 4-0 win.

Pakhtakor will meet Navbahor in the 2020 Uzbekistan Super League curtain raiser on Thursday, with a full seven-match schedule to be played over the following three days.
