In the second round, seven matches have already taken place, while only six out of eight scheduled matches were played in the first round. One postponed match that could have been interesting is the encounter between "Bars" and "Muras United".
A notable event was that for the first time this season, players took to the field with natural grass. At the "Nitro Arena" in Kant, the local club "Abdysh-Ata" lost to "Bishkek City".
The "Alga" team from the capital is demonstrating confident results, confirming its status as a favorite. They achieved their first major victory of the season, crushing OshMU with a score of 3:0. Interestingly, Oleksiy Zinkevich celebrated his first goal of the season by wearing the "mask" of Viktor Dyekeryesh from "Arsenal", and then, together with the goalkeeper of the Kyrgyzstan national team Erjan Tokotaev, recreated a popular meme.

The first game of the season was played by the clubs "Dordoi", "Toktogul", and "Asia".
At their stadium, "Toktogul" managed to win against "Ilbirs", thanks to the outstanding performance of the Georgian national team defender Solomon Kvirkvelia, who not only earned a penalty but also scored two goals despite an injury.
Unfortunately, "Dordoi" was unable to secure a victory against "Asiagol", finishing the match in a 0:0 draw, while "Asia", after a decent start, suffered a heavy defeat to "Talant".
The third round is scheduled for March 13-15.
