This round was the first in which all eight scheduled matches were played.
This season, matches of the Higher League took place for the first time at stadiums in the cities of Osh and Manas.
At the "Kurmanbek" stadium in Manas, "Özgön" faced "Alga," not "Muras United." The nominal hosts took advantage of two mistakes made by Erjan Tokotaev, the main goalkeeper of the Kyrgyzstan national team, but his teammates managed to save him. As a result, the match ended in a 2:2 draw.
Meanwhile, the reigning champion "Bars" secured an away victory against league newcomer "Toktogul," thanks to a magnificent goal by Kairat Zhyrgalbek uulu. The team from Karakol now has 6 points and occupies a high position based on lost points.
