Still smarting from their shock defeat the previous week, Astana controlled the game from start to finish. They broke the deadlock with a header from a corner in the first half and doubled their lead early in the second period with a clinical finish following a defensive error. Ulytau offered little in attack, with Astana's defenders comfortably dealing with any long balls forward.

For Ulytau, it was another difficult afternoon that highlighted the challenges of their first season back in the top flight.
