by time news

Football clubs Krasnodar and Sochi played among themselves; basketball club “Lokomotiv-Kuban” after four successful matches in the European Cup stumbled in Ankara – “MK in Kuban” about the main sporting events of the Krasnodar Territory.

Were hitting the goal less, but we won

The main thing is the result

The return match in Sochi between the leopards and the bulls was, perhaps, of more fundamental importance for the hosts. After all, in the last meeting in Krasnodar, they lost with a crushing score – 3: 0. The head coach of the “resort tourists” Vladimir Fedotov said before the game that the team should rehabilitate for that defeat. There was a footballer in Sochi who was clearly looking forward to this victory more than others. We are talking about a graduate of the Krasnodar Academy Denis Adamov. The goalkeeper was included in the hosts’ starting lineup for the match and he certainly wanted to prove to his former club that he had not kept it in vain.

By the way, Soslan Dzhanaev, Mateo Barach and Sergey Terekhov were out of the list for the leopards. The Bulls could not count on Remy Cabella and John Cordoba.

The start of the match turned out to be crazy. The game was played without defense. Each team rushed forward. But the first ten minutes remained for Krasnodar. By this time, Vladimir Ilyin could have scored three goals against Sochi. Once the forward of the “townspeople” missed the target, going one-on-one with Adamov. Then he hit the post. And finally, Ilyin shot in touch from the goalkeeper’s line. The ball flew higher. The Sochi players also created scoring chances. In the same ten minutes it is dangerous, but Timofey Margasov shot above the gate. And then Ibragim Tsallagov kissed great from outside the penalty area. The ball flew close to the nine.

With such an abundance of scoring chances at the beginning of the match, luck smiled at the Sochi people. On the 19th minute, Mateo Cassierra received the ball from the center of the field with a long-range pass from Danila Prokhin, outplayed the defenders and threw Matvey Safonov. The goalkeeper could only watch as the projectile, describing an arc, first hit the bar, and then flew into the empty net – 1: 0.

The Black-Greens were able to recoup at once. Eduard Spertsyan was knocked down by Tsallagov in the Sochi penalty area. Sergei Karasev awarded a penalty. Victor Klasson went to beat him. The Swede shot great into the left corner of the goal. Adamov did not cope with this blow. This penalty was Krasnodar’s tenth in the Premier League. No club in the Russian Premier League has punched as much. At the same time, the performance indicator of penalty kicks for the “townspeople” is equal to fifty percent (five scored and five missed). Klasson hit a penalty for the first time this season.

Then the game calmed down a bit. At the same time, both teams tried to attack. Both Safonov and Adamov did not stand without work. At the beginning of the second half, Krasnodar again seized the initiative and achieved a result thanks to this. On the 53rd minute of the match, the “townspeople” carried out a very quick attack. Grzegorz Krychowiak started it, then Aleksey Ionov made an excellent pass from the right edge of the penalty area to the radius, Klasson ran in there. The Swede, in touch, sent the ball to the corner of the goal under the post. This goal of the winger was his 43rd goal in the Krasnodar shirt.

Sochi ran to recoup. And the owners had a great chance to do it. Once they even brought the ball into the net. This was done immediately after the substitution was made by Ivelin Popov. However, before that, the side judge recorded an offside position. Nikita Burmistrov and the same Tsallagov also had moments, but all their efforts were in vain. For the last twenty minutes Krasnodar began to play openly to keep the score. And when in the 87th minute of the match Krykhovyak received a direct red card for a rough tackle, the bulls generally remained only in their half of the field. This tactic brought the “black-greens” the eighth victory in the Russian championship. Viktor Goncharenko’s team earned 28 points after seventeen rounds, ahead of Sochi in additional indicators. Now Krasnodar is the third in the standings, the “health resort” – the fourth. It is surprising that Krasnodar did not have an advantage in possession of the ball in this meeting, as is often the case in the Russian Premier League. In this indicator, the teams had absolute parity. And in terms of shots into the goal, the Sochi players significantly outplayed their rival: nineteen (six) against thirteen (three).

In the next round, which will be the last this year, both clubs will play at home. Sochi will host Spartak, which is not in the best shape. The outsider and debutant of the Premier League Nizhny Novgorod will come to Krasnodar.
