The Kazakhstan national football team won an away victory over Moldova in the first match of the playoffs of the League of Nations (2:1). This win was the first for the national team in official tournaments in a year and a half. Correspondent bbabo.net - about the latest successes of the national team and their absence at home.

The match with Moldova was the first for the national team of Kazakhstan led by Andrey Karpovich. Despite the fact that the team was losing 0:1 by the break, the players managed to turn the course of the meeting in the second half - 2:1. First, Sergey Maly scored, and then the home team player cut the ball into his own net.

The previous victory of the Kazakhstan national team in official tournaments was recorded on September 4, 2020, when the team started in the League of Nations group with an away victory over Lithuania - 2:0. Bakhtiyor Zainutdinov and Islambek Kuat then scored goals.

In November 2019, the national team beat San Marino on the road in the qualifying round for Euro 2020. The match ended with a score of 3:1, and Zainutdinov, Gafurzhan Suyumbaev and Alexey Shchetkin scored goals from the guests.

All these meetings are united by the fact that they were held on a visit. Interestingly, during this time, the Kazakhstan national team played seven matches in official tournaments at home. Two meetings ended in a draw, and in five cases the team lost.

There have been no home victories in official tournament matches since June 2019, when the team in Nur-Sultan defeated all the same rivals from San Marino - 4:0. Goals were scored by Kuat, Suyumbaev, as well as Maxim Fedin and Bauyrzhan Islamkhan.

Now everyone is wondering if the Kazakhstan national team will be able to complete an unsuccessful series without home victories next week? Having beaten the Moldovans on the road, Karpovich's team has a good chance to recharge their confidence and win an even more convincing victory at home.

However, Moldova cannot be written off either. In terms of the number of shots and moments in general, its players surpassed the Kazakhs several times. It is likely that the Moldovan team will come to Nur-Sultan angry, and the players will be ready to challenge the result of the first meeting.

If the Kazakh squad manages to win, then this will be a historic event for domestic football. The fact is that the national team of Kazakhstan has never in its history won two matches in a row under the auspices of UEFA.

Therefore, it remains to believe that history will be written before our eyes on Tuesday, March 29, at the Astana Arena stadium.
