After a break for national team matches, the first division of the Kazakhstan championship resumed. Shakhtar secured another victory, while Kairat-Zhastar played a draw. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Kursiv Media.
Shakhtar wins in new kit
The miners, wearing a new design kit, won at home against Akademiya Ontustik. It seems Karaganda's Artyom Litosh does not care whose goal he scores into. English, Irish or Shymkent peers. The League's top scorer netted a brace within half an hour in the match against the "academics". The guests played with a man down from the 20th minute, and after a second sending-off, finished the match with nine men.
Kairat-Zhastar draws in Taraz
Kairat's youth team took the lead in Taraz as early as the 10th minute thanks to a goal by Raimbek Kenesbekov. However, before the break, the hosts equalized through Nariman Asubek. In the second half, the Almaty side had more than one chance to take the lead, but the two ones on the scoreboard remained until the end of the match.
