Lokomotiv Tashkent B and Do'stlik Toshkent produced one of the most entertaining matches of the UZB D1B round on 16 August 2026, with the visiting side edging a seven-goal thriller 4–3 at Lokomotiv's home ground. The match, played under lights with a 20:30 kickoff, had almost everything: early goals, a comeback, a late winner, and no shortage of attacking intent from both benches.

Fast start and a flurry of goals

Do'stlik Toshkent made a bright start and took the lead inside the opening quarter of an hour, catching the Lokomotiv B defence flat-footed with a well-worked move down the right. The home side responded quickly, however, and the game swung from end to end in a frantic first half. Lokomotiv B’s equaliser came from a precise finish after a cutback from the byline, but Do'stlik restored their advantage before the interval with a header from a corner.

Trailing 2–1 at half-time, Lokomotiv Tashkent B came out with renewed energy and managed to turn the match around with two quick goals after the break. A powerful strike from the edge of the box and a calm penalty put the home side ahead for the first time in the match, much to the delight of the local supporters.

Do'stlik show their resilience

Rather than folding after losing the lead, Do'stlik Toshkent showed the composure of a side with promotion ambitions. Their coach made effective substitutions, and the visitors began to dominate midfield possession. The equaliser arrived midway through the second half after a defensive mix-up in the Lokomotiv B box allowed a simple tap-in.

With the clock ticking down, both teams pushed for a winner, and it was the visitors who found it. A swift counter-attack in the 84th minute was finished with clinical precision, giving Do'stlik a 4–3 lead. Lokomotiv B pushed forward in search of a late equaliser but could not break down a well-organised away defence.

Key players and match impact

Do'stlik Toshkent’s attacking players were the difference, particularly their winger, who caused problems all night with his dribbling and created several chances. The visitors’ goalkeeper also made two crucial saves in the closing stages to preserve the result. For Lokomotiv Tashkent B, the defeat is a frustrating one, as they showed character to come from behind but ultimately lacked the defensive discipline to hold on.

The result gives Do'stlik Toshkent a valuable three points in the UZB D1B standings and keeps them in the hunt at the top end of the table. Lokomotiv B, meanwhile, will need to tighten up defensively if they want to climb the league table in the coming rounds.
