Pakhtakor Dominate Kattaqorgon 3–0 in Uzbekistan Cup Clash
May 27, 2026 – Tashkent

Pakhtakor continued their commanding run in the Uzbekistan Cup with a comfortable 3–0 victory over FC Kattaqorgon at the Pakhtakor Central Stadium. The Tashkent giants controlled proceedings from the opening whistle, leaving the visitors with little room to threaten.

First-Half Breakthrough

The home side took the lead in the 22nd minute when midfielder Odiljon Hamrobekov curled a precise free-kick over the wall and into the top corner. Kattaqorgon struggled to settle, and Pakhtakor doubled the advantage just before the interval. A swift counter-attack finished by Khojiakbar Alijonov made it 2–0, sending the home fans into raptures.

Second-Half Control

Pakhtakor did not ease off after the break. They continued to press high, and in the 67th minute substitute Jaloliddin Masharipov swept in a low cross from the left to make it 3–0. Kattaqorgon rarely threatened goalkeeper Eldorbek Suyunov, who kept a clean sheet with little difficulty.

Key Talking Points

• Dominant midfield: Pakhtakor’s trio of Hamrobekov, Alijonov, and Masharipov controlled the tempo and created most chances.
• Defensive solidity: The back line, marshalled by captain Farrukh Sayfiev, neutralized Kattaqorgon’s lone striker effectively.
• Home record: Pakhtakor have now won all four home matches in this season’s Uzbekistan Cup, outscoring opponents 12–1.

What It Means

The victory keeps Pakhtakor firmly in contention for the cup, while Kattaqorgon face an uphill battle to advance from the group stage. The result also underlines Pakhtakor’s depth, with key players rested and still securing a convincing win.

Next up for the Tashkent side is a league fixture against AGMK, while Kattaqorgon will look to regroup ahead of their next cup match.
