Etihad kept Sdyushor pinned inside their own half for much of the first half as they sought to bounce back from Monday’s defeat to Singapore’s Lion City Sailors FC.

Enas Jamaeen and Cidalia Cuta both had early chances but failed to properly test Sdyushor custodian Dilnura Abibulla.

When called upon, Abibulla showed good anticipation to rush out of her goal line in the 22nd minute to clear the ball ahead of Rouzbahan Fraij as the Central Asian side showed resilience to take the tie into the break on level terms.

The game changed in spectacular fashion after the break with Etihad finding the breakthrough in the 46th minute when a lucky deflection off Jamaeen saw the ball break kindly for Cuta to smash home.

Sdyushor then created their first opening when Tatiana Kaznacheeva was sent through on goal in the 57th minute but Sherin Alshalabe produced a big save to keep Etihad ahead.

A minute later, Etihad doubled their advantage when Jamaeen found Eugenia Tetteh in the box, who turned away from Nagima Turalieve before sending the ball into the bottom corner.

Tetteh - a second half substitute - scored again in the 65th minute when she was released by Fraij and had no problem beating Abibulla to make it 3-0.

Sdyushor managed to pull a goal back six minutes later through a stunning long range effort from Baktygul Toktobolotova but that was all the Kyrgyz Republic side could manage.
