The second round match of the second most important club tournament in Asia - the AFC Cup 2023 between the Turkmen "Merv" and the Kyrgyz "Abdysh-Ata" has begun in Ashgabat.

At the end of the first half, “Merv” leads with a score of 1:0. Toily Gochnazarov scored the only goal for the Mary club in the 26th minute.

The optimal lineups put forward by both teams allowed a crowd of thousands to enjoy open football, already at the start of the match.

The game, which took place in the half of the field of the Mary club in the first five minutes, smoothly flowed towards the goal of the Kyrgyz club.

In the 26th minute, the Turkmen team continued its offensive actions at the opponent’s goal. Igor Sekov broke through the right flank and made a pass to Gochnazarov. All he had to do was not to miss. The forward coped with his task, thereby opening the scoring in the match.

Next, “Merv” sat down on the defensive, emerging from there with dangerous counterattacks. Here the Mary goalkeeper had to enter the game, parrying several dangerous shots.

We are waiting for the second half to start!
