2025 Kazakhstan Premier League. Postponed match of the 24th round. Oct. 5.

Kairat (Almaty) vs. Zhetysu (Taldykorgan) — 5:0 (4:0)

Goals: Satpayev 9’ (P), Jorginho 19’, 35’, Edmilson 43’, Tuyakbayev 90’.

Zhetysu had to face a Kairat side fired up after their recent Champions League game, and in front of a nearly full Central Stadium, Rafael Urazbakhtin’s players left their opponents no chance.

During the first half, Kairat’s Aleksandr Mrynskiy was active on the hosts’ right wing. In the ninth minute, Zhetysu’s Soslan Takulov fouled Mrynskiy, leading to a successful penalty kick by Dastan Satpayev, opening the scoring.

Ten minutes later, a combination started by Kairat’s Aleksandr Martynovich and Edmilson Santos resulted in Mrynskiy setting up Jorginho for an easy finish into the empty net, making it 2-0.

Fifteen minutes later, Jorginho completed his brace, and shortly before half-time, Edmilson made it 4-0.

Zhetysu tried to reduce the deficit; however, Kairat’s young sensation Sherkhan Kalmurza played flawlessly, to the delight of his fans.

Meanwhile, the hosts continued to push for a fifth goal. Azamat Tuyakbayev, captain of Kairat’s youth team, who came on as a substitute in only his second Premier League match, scored the fifth with a superb header in the 90th minute.

With this victory, Kairat once again overtook Astana in the title race. With two rounds remaining in the 2025 Kazakhstan Premier League, three main contenders remain — Kairat, Astana and Tobol.
