Kuruvchi’s sixth straight win was ensured by goals from Uzbek national team midfielder Server Djeparov (21, 85 penalty), Gochguly Gochgulyev (54) and Ulugbek Bakaev (72).

Invincible at home since the start of this season, Kuruvchi gave coach Mirdjalol Kasimov more cause for confidence ahead of their AFC Champions League home encounter against Al Ittihad of Aleppo next Wednesday with the big win which took them to 18 points in the 16-team table, four ahead of defending champions Pakhtakor.
