The reigning Kyrgyz champions grabbed the lead after 11 minutes when they were awarded a penalty, which was converted by Atai Dzhumashev despite Faisal Hamidi going the right way.

Abdysh-Ata continued to be on the front foot, going close to increasing the lead from a Kairat Zhyrgalbek Uluu cross that Emannuel Yaghr just failed to connect with.

Attack were finding it hard to gain control of the ball with striker Akpo Goodwin looking increasingly isolated up front against the home side’s back three.

The hosts had another opportunity late in the first half to add to the score but Faisal reacted brilliantly to deny Dzhumashev his second of the game.

Abdysh-Ata needed only six minutes into the restart to double their lead, Dzhumashev finding space on the left before picking out Zhyrgalbek Uluu who thumped the ball home.

Attack FC tightened up defensively after conceding for a second time but it was a case of job done for Abdysh-Ata as they booked their place in the group stage despite the late sending off for Amantur Shamurzaev after receiving his second yellow.
