Khosilot Parkhar recorded a commanding 2‑0 victory over Khujand in the Tajikistan Higher League on 8 May 2026, strengthening their push for a top‑half finish. The home side dominated proceedings at the Parkhar Stadium, with two first‑half goals proving enough to secure all three points.

First‑Half Dominance

Khosilot started brightly and took the lead in the 12th minute. A swift counter‑attack ended with striker Rustam Nazarov cutting inside from the right and unleashing a low shot that beat the Khujand goalkeeper at his near post. The hosts doubled their advantage just before the half‑hour mark when midfielder Dilshod Karimov headed home from a corner, giving the home fans plenty to cheer.

Second‑Half Control

Khujand tried to respond after the interval, enjoying more possession, but Khosilot’s defence, marshalled by experienced captain Alisher Mirzoev, remained resolute. The visitors could not find a way through, and Khosilot goalkeeper Farrukh Rajabov made a couple of comfortable saves to preserve his clean sheet. The home side also had chances to add a third but were wasteful in front of goal.
