Kazakhstan capital side Astana retained their national league title on Sunday with a 1-0 win over Aktobe on the last day of the season.
Congolese forward Junior Kabananga's goal two minutes from time lifted Astana to a hard-fought win to leave them one point clear of second-placed Kairat Almaty.
Aktobe finished third, 13 points further back. Last year's success was Astana's maiden league title.
