Server Djeparov opened the scoring with just 11 minutes of the round 13 clash gone before Azizbek Haydarov doubled the advantage in the 32nd minute.

Anvar Soliev got his name on the score sheet with Kuruvchi’s third four minutes after the interval and added the fifth in the 61st minute, just sixty seconds after Djeparov had made it 4-0 to the visitors.

The victory, Kuruvchi’s 12th of the season, maintained their two point lead over defending champions Pakhtakor, who kept pace with the leaders after first-half goals from Alexander Geynrikh (17) and Anzur Ismailov (45) gave the Tashkent giants a 2-0 home win over Nasaf.
