Gochguly Gochgulyev’s 19th minute opener and a quickfire brace from Server Djeparov before the break handed Kuruvchi a comfortable 3-0 half-time lead before Shavkat Salomov and Bahodyr Pardaev wrapped up the scoring in the closing stages.

The victory saw Kuruvchi move onto 12 points from four games, three clear of second-placed Pakhtakor, who have played a game less and will look to maintain their own 100% start against Locomotive on Friday.
