قزاقستان مقابل مولداوی

Moldova edged out a tense 2-1 win away to Kazakhstan in their UEFA Nations League League C clash at Astana Arena, surviving a frantic finish to claim a vital three points. The visitors looked the sharper side for most of the night, but the hosts gave themselves a real scare late on. Cleșcenco broke the deadlock right on the stroke of halftime, and Popescu doubled the advantage early in the second half with a powerful header from a corner. Kazakhstan hit back through Alip, who headed home in the 65th minute off a free-kick delivery from Islamkhan. The hosts piled on the pressure from there, forcing a goal-line clearance in the closing stages, but Moldova's defense refused to crack through three minutes of stoppage time. Both sides had taken just one point from their opening two fixtures, making this result a significant swing. Moldova leaves Astana with momentum and a timely boost in the group standings, while Kazakhstan will take some encouragement from their response but still searches for its first win since dropping into League C.
