Zarlykhan Powers Kaisar to First Victory in the Girls' Tournament

It was the visitors who opened the scoring in Kyzylorda, with Balnur Yergeshbek finding the net as early as the 4th minute. However, the hosts were brought back into the game by 14-year-old forward Shamsiya Zarlykhan. By scoring a brace within eight minutes in the first half and adding a third after the break, she not only secured a historic victory for her team but also moved to the top of the scoring chart with four goals – Shamsiya had previously scored against Shakhter.

The Pavlodar team managed to take the lead in the 12th minute thanks to a goal by Anastasia Gordeeva. However, luck soon turned away from the hosts: first, Damira Maksat levelled the score in the 35th minute, before an own goal by Valeria Kosareva put the visitors ahead. In the second half, Astana sealed the result with precise strikes from Zhibek Marat and Alziya Zhambyl – 1-4.
Shakhter and Tobyl Split the Points
