Kattaqurgon fell 1-3 to Republic of FA in the Pro-League A regular season on 7 September 2026. The visitors took control early and held firm despite a late home rally. It was a result that flipped the script before kickoff, when we gave the hosts a 63 per cent chance of victory. The match simply refused to behave.
I. Akbarov opened the scoring for Kattaqurgon in the thirteenth minute, a decent start that suggested momentum would stay home. But Republic of FA responded quickly, with A. Aliev finding the net in the twenty-first. By then the visitors had switched to a more direct approach, and the hosts looked uneasy defending wide areas.
The second half brought more of the same. Akbarov pulled one back for Kattaqurgon in the sixtieth, and for a stretch it felt like the home side might turn it around. Republic of FA stayed compact and waited for their moment. Then F. Narh struck in the ninety-second to kill the game off. One mistake ends it, and Kattaqurgon made several.
The result leaves Kattaqurgon seventh on 30 points from 17 games, while Republic of FA move up to eleventh with 13 points from 15. The gap between them is small, but the confidence shift is real. Republic of FA had lost four of their previous five and were on a poor run, but they saw the game out when it mattered.
Kattaqurgon's recent form has been inconsistent—three losses in their last four before this one. To be fair, they were competitive in the 2-1 win over Jaiqsun, but consistency is what separates sides near the top from those further down. This match showed the difference clearly.
