The worst game of the season for Krasnodar! They stupidly gave first place to Zenit

In the match against Ural, Vladimir Ivich’s team was unrecognizable.

Ural approached the match with Krasnodar in a terrible position. The Yekaterinburg team did not win for 10 rounds and fell to 12th place. “Krasnodar” lost its advantage over “Zenith”, the champion overtook the “bulls” after the victory over “Sochi”. Vladimir Ivich’s team could return to the top if they triumph in Yekaterinburg. And “Ural” wants to break the winless streak.

The first minutes of the meeting showed that it would not be easy for Krasnodar. “Ural” did not let the guests get close to their goal, although the Yekaterinburg team itself did not create any chances. The rivals studied each other. The trend of the match was forced changes: the locals, due to an injury, left the field in the 11th minute and were replaced by Sungatulin. And the first more or less sharp moment immediately led to a goal! In the 21st minute, Olusegun burst into the area and made a pass to the center, where the ball found Córdoba’s head. Krasnodar’s Colombian striker crossed the defender and beat Ilya Pomazun, finishing off a rebound on the grass. The ability of a great team to take advantage of a small number of opportunities was demonstrated.

Was Ural upset? Of course not. They simply added more aggression and attacked even more actively. The Yekaterinburg team pressed, often using the wings and crosses. The result was immediate. It is true that Ural scored a goal after a corner kick. Ayupov crossed and defender Emmerson hovered over Krivtsov and sent the ball into Safonov’s goal. 1:1 – and the Yekaterinburg fans were no longer so sad. Curiously, the Congolese defender, who was playing for the national team during the break, was bought tickets for the wrong flight. But Emmerson managed to get to Yekaterinburg and helped Ural.

In the final part of the first half, the teams periodically recovered. Krasnodar had a little more chance; For example, Olas crossed dangerously. But the main event was the collision between Bulls goalkeeper Matvey Safonov and defender Vitor Tormena near their own area. The goalkeeper stepped forward to reinforce the defense, but attacked his teammate. Both players ended up on the grass and were seriously injured. As a result, Tormen was substituted before half-time and Safonov did not come on in the second half. Stanislav Agkatsev appeared in his place.

The second half Ural started more actively. The locals felt they could break the winless streak. There was no sense that the inhabitants of Yekaterinburg were acting against the gold contender. “Krasnodar” was not very convincing or expressive. And Ural likes to score at the beginning of the second half. Goncharenko’s team is the best in the RPL in terms of the number of goals between the 46th and 60th minutes – four goals at once. And the statistics were confirmed! In the 59th minute, Andrei Egorychev, as a result of a mini combination, received the ball from Ayupov in the other’s area, beat Akgatsev, who had gone through the gate, and put the home team ahead.

Krasnodar tried to rectify the situation. However, they did not like the scenario in which the southerners lose first place. Although the “Urals” did not really allow the “bulls” to create many opportunities. The Yekaterinburg team acted confidently in defense and Krasnodar did not seem to be fully involved. And the visiting defense was on the verge of scoring a goal when Agkatsev faltered in his own area.

“Ural” as a whole periodically broke down and seemed to be closer to the third goal than “Krasnodar” to the second. And so it happened! In the 86th minute, Alexey Kashtanov ran into Agkatsev’s goal and beat the goalkeeper. 3:1 – the question about the winner was removed.

In the end, Krasnodar seemed to accept defeat. And “Ural” completely surpassed the guests and won a well-deserved victory. The Bulls allowed Zenit to clearly take first place in the RPL table. The beginning of the end of the championship race? And Ural broke a 10-match winless streak and saved Goncharenko from possible dismissal.
