Republic of Fa dismantle Lochin in Pro-League A
Lochin hosted Republic of Fa in the Pro-League A Regular Season round 20 on 2026-09-21. The visitors secured a comprehensive 0:3 victory, leaving the hosts in sixth place with thirty-two points. It was a result that highlighted the visitors' growing maturity in these fixtures.
The visitors opened the scoring at seventeen minutes, a moment that caught the home side off guard. By then, the logic of the game had already shifted away from the hosts' usual rhythm. I remember watching the twenty-minute mark when Lochin tried to respond, but the visitors held their shape well. And here's the thing, the pressure didn't break the away team's discipline. They looked comfortable enough to take the lead and keep it.
A. Hojimurodov made it two at twenty-one minutes, capitalising on a moment of hesitation. To be fair, the defensive line had looked solid earlier in the half. The sudden lapse in concentration allowed the away captain to slot home.
I. Akbarov added the third at thirty-seven minutes, extending the lead before the break. The hosts had nothing to lose by that stage, yet they struggled to find a way through. Republic of Fa controlled the tempo without needing to chase the ball. The away side seemed to be managing the game with ease.
A. Soliev sealed the result at fifty-one minutes, putting the game beyond doubt. Lochin continued to press, but the visitors defended with purpose. The scoreline reflected a comfortable performance rather than a lucky escape.
The win gave Republic of Fa a lift after a mixed run of results, whereas Lochin suffered a setback following their previous victory. The hosts sit on thirty-two points from nineteen matches, while the visitors have nineteen from eighteen games. That points gap will matter as the season progresses into its final stages.
The victory solidifies Republic of Fa's position in the middle of the table, while Lochin faces a difficult run-in. The hosts remain in sixth place, chasing a higher finish with thirty-two points. The visitors, with nineteen points, have work to do to climb away from the bottom half. The gap in the table is thirteen points.
