The long wait for top flight football will soon be over in Uzbekistan with the country’s Super League to return with a full seven-match fixture list starting next Saturday.

But while competitive fixtures may still be a few days away, several clubs moved a step closer to serious action with friendly matches across the weekend.

Unbeaten FC Nasaf geared up for their clash against Navbahor – a match which was voted the most anticipated of next week’s fixtures by fans on the AFC Telegram account – with a 2-1 win over second tier outfit FC Shurtan Guzar, while Kokand-1912 beat Navbahor by the same margin.

Lokomotiv fell 1-0 to AGMK in a match which saw both sides make wholesale changes at half-time, while Bunyodkor fell to a 2-1 defeat against Uzbekistan Pro League side Oktepa Tashkent.

Earlier in the weekend, Mate Vatsadze netted a hat-trick as AGMK defeated lower division outfit Rubin 7-2 in the first of two outings in as many days.

Bunyodkor will host Kokand-1912 on Saturday in the first Super League match since March 5. Matches will be played behind closed doors.
