- HTTU kept hold of the Turkmenistan President’s Cup after coming from a goal down to defeat Turkmen league champions 2-1 in the final of the ten-team tournament.
- AFC President’s Cup qualifiers Ashgabat took the lead in the 13th minute through Arif Mirzoev but for the second successive final HTTU would come from behind to take the trophy.
- The Students, who twice fought back to defeat Aşgabat 3-2 and win the 2007 Turkmenistan President’s Cup, got on level terms when Perkhat Podarov equalised before Berdi Şamyradow scored three minutes into the second-half with the goal that gave HTTU the trophy and the US$20,000 winners’ cheque.
