Ljupcho Doriev continued his rich scoring run in the Uzbekistan Super League on August 18, 2026, netting his 13th goal of the campaign and helping Sogdiana to a 2-1 victory in the 18th-round fixture.

The Macedonian international opened the scoring in the 38th minute to put Sogdiana ahead 1-0. The match finished 2-1, a result that moved Sogdiana clear of the relegation zone after a difficult start to the season.

Doriev remains the league's leading marksman

With this strike Doriev extended his lead at the top of the scoring charts and remains the Super League's top scorer with 13 goals. His recent goal rush has been the main factor in Sogdiana climbing toward midtable following the completion of round 18.

The victory gave the team breathing room in the standings and underlined Doriev's importance as Sogdiana attempt to consolidate their position for the remainder of the season.

Saturday's result is the latest evidence of the forward's consistency in Uzbekistan's elite division and reinforces his status among the competition's most dangerous attackers.
