Nomad Astana secured a comprehensive 4-0 victory over Almaty in the Kazakh Cup on Monday, 18 August 2026. The result leaves the home side winless after four games, while the visitors move to within a point of the leaders.
Almaty have now failed to win any of their opening four matches, sitting fifth on zero points. Their recent form has been difficult, including a heavy 11-0 defeat to Torpedo on Saturday and a 3-2 loss to Aktobe the previous day. Nomad Astana, meanwhile, occupy fourth place with a single victory from four outings.
The visitors have been involved in several high-scoring encounters this season. Their most recent fixture ended 4-3 against Kokshetau on Saturday, while earlier results included a 3-2 win over Karaganda and a 5-1 victory in the same competition against the same opposition.
This match adds to the history between the two sides. Almaty lost 2-1 and 2-9 to Nomad Astana earlier this year, though they did secure a 4-2 win in March. The latest result extends Nomad's advantage in their head-to-head record.
With both teams still on zero points after four games, the standings remain fluid. A win for Nomad Astana could prove significant as the competition progresses, while Almaty face mounting pressure to find their first victory.
