Resulting errors of judges, three penalties in the match Dynamo - Rostov and Vlašić's wonderful goal: the results of the 17th round of the RPL

Krykhovyak double and Oyevole's unscored goal

In the opening match of the 17th round of the RPL, the Moscow Lokomotiv interrupted a losing streak of three matches and continued to pursue the Zenith. The wards of Yuri Syomin came to Saransk, where in a tense meeting they prevailed over the Tambov. It is noteworthy that, as in the first round, the confrontation ended with a minimum difference.

By the 33rd minute, the guests had a comfortable advantage, and the main character was Grzegorz Krychowiak. After a brief lull, he again assumed the role of leader of the railway workers and began to stamp goals. With a difference of four minutes, the midfielder first noted a beautiful long-range shot, and then forced the defender Adesoye Oyevole to send the ball into his own goal. The hosts did not give up and the efforts of Vladimir Obukhov and Mikhail Kostyukov restored the status quo, but the Pole again said his weighty word. During the corner draw, the former Paris Saint-Germain footballer was left unattended and with a spectacular shot brought the guests three points.

Nevertheless, the meeting was not without controversial episodes. In the last half hour, the hosts staged a real assault on the goal of Marinato Guillerme and succeeded, but the goal of Ojevole after the free-kick was canceled. Apparently, the assistant to the chief arbiter determined that Maxim Osipenko was in the offside position at the time of the transfer of Vladimir Chuperka, which confirms the replay. But the fact is that the judge raised the flag only after the hosts' players celebrated success, which seriously outraged the representatives of Tambov.

Judicial scandal and long-awaited success of Akhmat

The topic of controversial refereeing continued in the next match. So, already in the first half, Alexei Eskov made two controversial decisions, as a result of which Orenburg turned out to be catching up. So, with a difference of 14 minutes, the referee did not put a penalty in the goal of “Akhmat” for a hand game performed by Wilker Angel, and then Timur Ayupov was punished for the same offense. Andres Ponce seized the opportunity and brought Grozny forward.

In the last 16 minutes, the teams exchanged accurate punches. If in the opening, Odis Rocher checked the crossbar for strength, then this time he sent the ball exactly into the net. Already in the compensated time, игаiga Škoflek narrowed the gap, but the hosts did not have more. “Akhmat” won its first victory in a month and a half. The last success of the team was dated October 5, when they got the better of Ufa in the 12th round.

The return of Sutormina and the anniversary goal of Dziuba

The leader of the RPL came to visit one of the main outsiders of the championship and not without difficulty took three points. The confrontation turned out to be extremely tense, which was largely caused by difficult weather conditions. At the time of the match, the air temperature in Kazan was about -4 ˚С, which affected the condition of the lawn. Nevertheless, this did not prevent more than eight thousand fans from gathering at the Tsentralny Stadium, and one of the main events was the arrival of Alexei Sutormin in Kazan. In the summer, the midfielder replenished the composition of Rubin, but spent only a couple of days there and went to Zenit.

Already in the eighth minute, Serdar Azmun took advantage of the transfer of Daler Kuzyaev and chalked up his 11th point (6 + 5) for his performance in the season. Guests failed to maintain the advantage. In the middle of the second half, wards of Roman Sharonov restored parity. Eugene Markov opened on the offside line and easily ferried the ball into the net.

But the Zenith class still took its toll. One of the many awnings of the wards of Sergei Semak reached Artyom Dziuba, who forced Yuri Dupin to capitulate. It is worth noting that the forward of the Russian national team also appeared to be at least on the verge of an offside position, which caused widespread discussion, but the line judge did not respond. This goal became the tenth of the season for him and helped Artyom to catch up with the leaders in the scorer dispute. The same exact hits on the account of Eldor Shomurodov and Alexander Sobolev.

Controversial penalty kick in the goal of “Rostov” and a double Philippe

The most eventful match of the 17th round was held at the Dynamo stadium named after Lev Yashin. Wards of Cyril Novikov sensationally defeated the “Rostov” and extended a successful series under the leadership of a new mentor. Blue and white do not know the lesions for a month and a half.

The meeting turned out to be double-edged and replete with dangerous moments. Already in the first half, teams were once noted for productive attacks. First, Ivelin Popov closed the cross of Alexei Ionov, and then Maximilian Philip confidently realized the 11-meter. Yevgeny Chernov was grossly mistaken in his penalty box by hitting Zaurbek Pliev’s leg, which was what the judge Vasily Kazartsev reacted to.

In the second half, the referee twice pointed to the point, and in the first case, his decision again caused a scandal. In the 87th minute, he awarded a penalty to the goal of “Rostov” for a foul by Matthias Norman on Philippe, who later realized the German himself. Moreover, the actions of the Norwegian more fell under the article "dangerous game", which is punishable by a maximum free kick.

Watching an episode in violation of Norman lasted more than three minutes, because of which the teams were forced to spend about ten minutes of compensated time on the field. At the ninth of them, Sergey Parshivlyuk “cut down” Shomurodov and gave the guests a chance to recoup. Ionov struck not in the best way that Anton Shunin took advantage. In addition to three points, the guests lost the midfielder Alexander Glebov, who received a fracture of the fifth metatarsal bone.

Two months of “Ufa” without victories and effectiveness

The first draw in the 17th round was fixed at the Neftyanik stadium. “Ufa” and “Sochi” could not identify the winner. Moreover, both teams last won in late September. Moreover, if the hosts got the better of Spartak, the guests finished with Akhmat.

Despite the not very comfortable conditions, the teams tried to demonstrate attacking football, as evidenced by 29 shots on goal. However, only two of them turned out to be accurate. In the first half, Dmitry Poloz upset Alexander Belenov and scored in the second game in a row, and five minutes before the end, Andres Vombergar lit his name on the scoreboard. For the Slovenian with Argentinean roots, this goal was the first in the RPL.

Inconvenient rival of Spartak and 32 shots on goal

Another draw was recorded in Yekaterinburg. After coming to the coaching bridge Domenico Tedesco, the red and white scored a good move and won in three out of five matches, but again failed to defeat one of their most uncomfortable opponents. Spartak lost points and extended the unbeaten streak in the clash with Ural until seven meetings.

The guests took the initiative and delivered ten more shots on goal (21:11), but could not convert them into goals. Zelimkhan Bakaev again acted very actively, but neither he, nor Andre Schurrle, who returned to the starting lineup, were able to hit the gates of Yaroslav Godzur. At the same time, one of the most discussed points was the fall in the penalty box of Spartak Michal Kukharchik, but the judge did not see a violation of the rules by George Dzhikiya.

Goal and transfer of Petrov, injuries of Fernandes and Berg

In terms of intensity, the meeting in Tula could compete with the match between Dynamo and Rostov. And this despite the fact that all three goals were scored in the first half of the match. By the 25th minute, Krasnodar lost Manuel Fernandes due to injury, but had a comfortable advantage. Sergei Petrov assisted Toni de Villein, and then scored himself, scoring five points in a week (in the game with San Marino, he chalked up a goal and two exact assists). Arsenal was able to respond only with a successful accurate header by Yevgeny Lutsenko.

“Pushkari” acted great ahead and repeatedly forced Matvey Safonov to enter the game, but the “bulls” were closer to increasing the difference in the score. Ivan Ignatiev earned 11-meter and he intended to realize it, but missed. And a few minutes before this, another interesting event occurred. Yuri Gazinsky for the first time this season appeared on the field in the official match for Krasnodar. True, he succeeded Markus Berg, also injured.

The absence of Goncharenko on the bench and the miracle goal of Vlašić

In the final match of the tour, CSKA took revenge from Wings of the Soviets for losing in the first round. Away, the army team lost two goals, and won at the VEB Arena with a minimum score. They were not prevented from achieving success even by the absence of Viktor Goncharenko on the coaching bridge, who was disqualified for being rude to the referee Stanislav Vasiliev. It is worth noting that the fans tried to cheer up the mentor and not only put his cardboard figure on the platform, but also hung out banners with his famous quotes.

In general, the owners looked more confident, but for a long time they could not break into the defense of the Wings. Konstantin Kuchaev and Arnor Sigurdsson had excellent chances, but Sergey Ryzhikov helped out. CSKA could only come forward in the 74th minute, and the goal was scored by Nikola Vlašić. The Croatian midfielder performed a fantastic long-range strike and brought CSKA a second victory in a row.
