Lochin saw off Kizirek 2-1 in the Pro-League A on Monday, a result that keeps them fifth while dragging their opponents further down. The match ended 2-1 after a goal from S. Bozorov in the ninth minute and a late strike from I. Kenjaboev at 90+3. To be fair, the visitors had nothing left to play for by then, sitting fourteenth with only four points from eighteen games.
Bozorov's opener came early, catching Kizirek before they could settle into any shape. It was the kind of moment that shifts the weight of a match, even if the rest of the first half played out without incident. Lochin had been inconsistent recently—drawing with Yoypan, losing 5-0 to Metallurg—but this was a chance to string something together.
Kizirek's response arrived as the clock ran out, Kenjaboev finding the net in stoppage time. And here's the thing: it changed nothing about the outcome, only added a late tremor to an already decided fixture. The visitors had lost their last four matches, including heavy defeats to Farmd and Kattakurgan, and this result extended that run.
Lochin's record stands at nine wins, five draws and four defeats, thirty-two points in the table. Kizirek, meanwhile, have one win, one draw and sixteen losses. The gap between them is not just in the standings but in the quality of football they can produce.
The match itself offered little beyond two goals and the space between them. Lochin held their lead through a quiet middle period before Kizirek's late pressure forced a final scramble. By then, the hosts had already secured what they needed.
