The home side went in front after just 10 minutes when Dominique Mendy launched a quick counter attack by sending the ball behind Arkadag’s defence with Joel Beya winning the foot race against Guychmyrat Annagulyyev before chipping over goalkeeper Rasul Charryev.
Al Khaldiya had the opportunity to double their advantage five minutes later when Ayoub Elamloud intercepted Annagulyyev’s pass back to Charryev but Komail Alaswad’s effort was blocked.

A similar move evolved at the other end of the pitch when Mendy’s underhit pass back to Al Khaldiya custodian Ricardo Manuel was intercepted by Altymyrat Annadurdyyev who, however, saw his low shot agonisingly hit the post.
A defensive mistake haunted Arkadag again in the 39th minute when Abdy Basimov’s header back to his keeper didn’t have enough power in it, allowing Gleison to steal the ball before rounding Charryev to score.

The second half got off to an uneventful start but Arkadag were handed a lifeline eight minutes in when Al Khalidya went down to 10 men after Moussa Coulibaly was given his marching orders for a high footed challenge on Shanazar Tirkishov.
With the numerical advantage, Arkadag poured forward but headers from Yazgylych Gurbanov and Bayram Atayev were off target as the Turkmenistan side had to accept defeat.
Al Khaldiya next play Andijon while Arkadag will look to regroup when they face Al Ahli, with both ties on October 22.
