Match impact
Although Doriev continued to produce decisive contributions, his goal and overall performance were not enough to prevent Sogdiana from conceding three goals at home and leaving the field defeated.
The Macedonian forward’s tally and creative output underline his status as Sogdiana’s standout player and mark him as one of the top performers across Uzbekistan’s top division.
The final 2–3 scoreline keeps attention on Sogdiana’s defensive frailties this season, even as Doriev remains the league’s leading marksman.
