The top players of the match between "Astana" and "Kairat" in the first round of the 2025 KPL have been announced.

First and foremost, I would like to highlight the evergreen Marin Tomasov, who scored a stunning goal. However, it’s not just about the goal itself. I want to emphasize the Croatian's movement on the field, his work rate both in defense and attack. At the age of 37, he is a true leader for Astana. From the Kairat side, I would point out Dastan Satpaev. The young player stepped onto the field in such a crucial match, kept his composure, and managed to score. Although I believe that Mukhammedzhan Seisen should have closed the near post and saved that ball, Satpaev made a solid impact coming off the bench and is certainly making a name for himself now, the expert commented.

It is worth noting that in the second round of the CPL-2025, Astana will play away against Kyzylzhar, while Kairat will host Ordabasy at home.
