"Nasaf" has made history by becoming Uzbekistan's champion for the first time, ending a 23-year dominance of Tashkent clubs.

Today, November 1st, at the "Dustlik" stadium in Tashkent region, in the 23rd round of the Super League, the Karshi club "Nasaf" has prematurely secured the title of champion of Uzbekistan by defeating "Lokomotiv" away, achieving this success for the first time in its history.

In the 35th minute of a tense match, the main referee Akhrol Riskullaev unexpectedly sent off "Lokomotiv" defender Ivan Rogach, leaving "Nasaf" with a numerical advantage for the remainder of the game.

In the 73rd minute, Akmal Mozgovoy scored the opening goal, which ultimately secured an important victory and the championship title for "Nasaf."

As a result, after 23 matches, the team accumulated 52 points and became champions with three rounds left in the championship. Under the guidance of Ruzikul Berdiev, the team ended the 23-year hegemony of Tashkent clubs in the Super League.

Prior to this, only "Neftchi" had claimed the title of champion of Uzbekistan in 2001, after which the championship title was held exclusively by clubs from Tashkent for 23 years. "Pahktakor" particularly dominated, holding the championship for the last five years.

Now, in 2025, "Nasaf" will represent Uzbekistan in the AFC Champions League.
