Match report
Jayik took all three points against Taraz on Friday evening in the regular season of the first division, closing out the 17th round with a 2-0 victory. The hosts started brighter and never looked back after finding an opening in the first half.
K. Yakudi broke the deadlock in the 30th minute, and to be fair, the goal felt inevitable once Jayik pinned the visitors back. Taraz had their chances but could not find a way through a compact defence.
A second goal came late on, with A. Astakhov wrapping things up in the 87th minute. By then the result was already decided, but the timing kept the match alive until the final whistle.
The win moves Jayik to 30 points from 21 games while Taraz remain on 28, sitting seven places behind in the table. It is not a massive gap, but the momentum has shifted.
Jayik have been uneven lately, drawing with Sport Academy Kairat and losing to Astana II, yet they found a rhythm against Taraz. The visitors, meanwhile, lost ground after their win over Academy Ontyuk.
