The second round of the Neutrality Cup of Turkmenistan became rich in goals and matches, in which the fate of the teams leaving the tournament was decided. Read more in the ORIENT review.

Group «А»: «Milli Goshun — «Talip Sport» 5:12

The team of the Ministry of Defense, losing in the first round to the players of the migration service, was seriously determined to defeat the team of the National Institute of Sports and Tourism. Having played the ball in the center of the field, "Milli Goshun" rushed forward to the opponent, but failed to realize the moment. Talip Sport was not against supporting the high pace of the game. The spectators watched as the teams almost forgot about the defense, played in the open attacking style. The ball did not linger in the middle of the field and rushed from one penalty to another, until it met the player of the Institute of Sport and Tourism, Syakhedov, and flew into the goal. After just two minutes, the referee recorded a capture from the opposite goal, and then again at the gates of the defencists. Such “swings” continued until the 14th minute, when Talip Sport went into the lead by the end of the first half with 3 goals, and the second with 7. In the second half there was only one intrigue - will the teams be able to break the record of performance, set by the tour earlier at 17 goals per game? As a result, the record was repeated. Talip Sport scores six points and secures its way out of the group, and Milli Goshun cannot win the second game in a row and loses the opportunity to go to the playoffs. After the match, the soccer player of the National Institute of Sports and Tourism, Dayanch Garadzhayev, shared with ORIENT: - We are very pleased with this victory, we practiced a lot. I really hope we will continue to win. Tomorrow is a very important game against Migration. Our only goal is winning the tournament.

Group «А»: «Migration» — «Gumrukchi» 2:0

It is noteworthy that the next couple of participants, the opposite of the first, chose the game of defense as their tactic. In general, the game of defense is one of the trends of modern football. It has long been known that short tournaments, as a rule, are won by teams with well-established defense. The first truly dangerous moment happened only in the seventh minute - the player of the Migration Service Islam Chorliyev turned out to be the quickest in finishing and sent an elegant kick into the net. The next ten minutes passed with virtually no dangerous moments, with the exception of long shots that did not bring anything. But two minutes before the end of the 1st half, the customs officers started to play at two hundred percent. "Migration" was saved by fortune. After the break, the game scheme did not change, and the teams continued to play with an emphasis on defense. Closer to the goal again were the players of the migration service. At the 27th minute, a penalty is awarded and Hodzhageldy Myradov sends the ball into the goal of Gumrukchi. In the remaining time, the customs officers were not able to reach the opponent's gates. In the third round, Gumrukchi will have to play with Milli Goshun, and Migration will compete for first place in the group with Talip Sport.

Group «В»: «Kopetdag» — «Dayhanbank» 6:0

For some teams of groups “B” and “C”, the matches of the second round were final at the group stage, and as it turned out a little later at the tournament. Kopetdag, who did not take part in the first round due to the characteristics of the draw, made its debut with Dayhanbank, who drew a draw in the Bankers Derby. Footballers of the Ministry of the Interior took the lead already in the first minute of the match, and in the fifth doubled the advantage. Excellent counterattacks allowed Kopetdag to play with a comfortable advantage. The Dayhanbank players again failed on the defensive and missed a lot: by the end of the first half - 4, and by the end of the match - 6, without having scored a single goal. The Dayhanbank team says goodbye to this wonderful tournament, the football players of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Turkmenistan are preparing to play in the 3rd round with Senagatbank, and Kopetdag is not planning to lose to the semi-finals.

Group «С»: «Denizchi» — «Nesil» 1:5

After the crushing victory of “Nesil” over Serhetchi with a score of 13:4, the players of the Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs needed to continue the victorious march and secure a passage to the next stage of the tournament. Motivated and successful students of the Institute of the Ministry of the Interior have left no chance for the team of the Turkmenbashi international port. Sure 5:1 and “Nesil” was the first of all participants who won the ticket to the semifinals, becoming the most scoring team of the tournament in the first two rounds. It has 18 goals scored. The second place is occupied by "Talip Sport" with 16 goals.
