Kairat's youth team, having defeated Batyr 4:2 in the 13th round, won the first round of the first division of Kazakh football. In the match between the main contenders for promotion, Shakhter beat Turan 1:0. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Kursiv Media.

The only goal in Karaganda was scored in the 16th minute. In a scramble in front of the Turkestan goal after a free kick by Arman Nusip, home defender Alexander Migunov was the quickest.

Winning by a minimal score, Andrei Finonchenko's charges continued their pursuit of Kairat. The latter, having secured an important victory in Ekibastuz, took first place at the end of the first round. Recall that according to the regulations, even if Kairat-Zhas wins the First League, the club's system team from the KPL cannot play in the elite division. This does not prevent Zhora Arutyunyan's team from churning out victories.

In the match against Batyr, Evgeny Petrik scored a brace. Yermukhammed Kerimkhan and Daniyar Tashpulatov scored once each. The hosts scored through Ilya Demin and Ilkin Rustamov.

Among other results of the round, we note the first victory in the tournament of Elimai's youth team. The seemingly hopeless outsider, inspired by the European debut of the club's main team, defeated their peers from Astana in a match with two penalties and an own goal.

For the second game in a row, Aktobe players score five goals into the opponent's net. In the previous round, they drew in Kostanay 5:5, and today they beat Khan-Tengri 5:2 at home. Enviable productivity of Maxim Gabunov's charges!

The second round of the First League will begin with matches of the 14th round on July 16 and 17.
