Regar's first defeat

It had to happen some day. The Tajik league leaders Regar-TadAZ Dushanbe finally lost. Their slayers were Khudjand and the only goal was scored by Mansur Khakimov... ex-Regar player. Although it was the first defeat of Regar, they have to look behind because Parvoz Bobojon Ghafurov are only one point short and have two matches in hand. Regar have to also remember that they have the Asian President's Cup campaign ahead of them. Things are getting interesting in Tajikistan.
