Recent Match Highlights
In the last three games Astana has shown both strength and a few wobbly moments. The opening win against Shakhter Karagandy ended 2‑0, with a solid clean sheet and a strike from forward Aleksandr Kirov in the 34th minute. The second match versus Tobol was a tighter 1‑1 draw; Astana took the lead early, but Tobol equalised late, reminding fans that defensive focus is still needed.
The most recent fixture against Kairat saw Astana lose 0‑1 after a missed penalty in the second half. Coach Srđan Blagojević praised the team's work rate but hinted at squad tweaks to improve finishing. Fans reacted on social media, calling for faster transitions and more creative playmaking.
Transfer Talk & Squad News
Transfer rumors have been buzzing all season. The biggest name linked with Astana right now is midfielder Daniil Kutenkov, who could leave for a Russian club if his contract expires this summer. On the flip side, the club is reportedly eyeing a young striker from the Uzbek league, Emir Rashidov, who has impressed with 12 goals this season.
In terms of confirmed moves, Astana secured a loan deal for defender Ivan Zubkov from a fellow Premier League side. Zubkov adds depth to the back line and is expected to compete for a starting spot. The loan includes an option to buy, giving the club flexibility if he fits the system.
Injury updates also matter. Goalkeeper Arman Tursynov suffered a minor ankle sprain in the Tobol match and is expected to miss a week. Backup keeper Mikhail Guliyev will step in, and his recent performances in training suggest he’s ready for the challenge.
Looking ahead, the next three fixtures will test Astana’s consistency. They face Atyrau at home, then travel to play Ordabasy, and finally host a crucial derby against Kairat. Each game offers a chance to climb the table and solidify a spot in the championship round.
