FC Nasaf handed a humiliating defeat to ATK Mohun Bagan, routing the Indian Super League (ISL) runners-up 6-0 in their inter-zonal semifinal of the AFC Cup at home in Markaziy Stadium, Qarshi, on September 22. Forward Khusain Norchaev scored a hat-trick while Oybek Bozorov and Doniyorjon Narzullaev scored for the Uzbekistan Super League side, with the opener coming via an own goal by Pritam Kotal. The big defeat at the hands of what is, quality wise, a mid-level Asian side, paints a realistic picture of where the ISL sides stand in the continental scheme of things.
