In the second round, seven matches have already taken place, while six out of eight planned matches were played in the first round. The only postponed match is "Bars" against "Muras United".
Notably, this season saw the first match played on natural turf. At the "Nitro Arena" stadium in Kant, "Bishkek City" managed to secure a victory over "Abdysh-Ata".
The capital team "Alga" confirmed its status as one of the main contenders for the title by defeating OshMU with a score of 3:0. Moreover, the players not only delight with their results but also with their creative celebrations. Oleksiy Zinkevych, marking his first goal of the season, first "pretended" to be Viktor D'yekeryesh from "Arsenal", and then, together with the goalkeeper of the Kyrgyzstan national team Erjan Tokotaev, recreated a popular meme.
