Chalov’s first goal in seven months and Vlašić’s tenth goal

CSKA after the victory over Spartak in the derby went on a visit to Akhmat, who is fighting for survival. Grozny residents had a great first game after the resumption of the season and scored seven points out of nine in them. 

True, the team leader Denis Glushakov, who was disqualified for busting yellow cards, could not take part in the match with the army team. For a similar reason, missed the meeting, the main right-back of the army Mario Fernandez. 

Without their key performers, the rivals started the match quite accurately and were in no hurry to attack. From the first minutes Grozny residents gave the ball to an opponent. But dangerous moments at the gates of Evgeny Gorodov did not arise at all. In the first half, he only entered the game once, when he transferred the shell to the corner after hitting Konstantin Kuchaev from the penalty box under the crossbar.

“Akhmat” in the first 45 minutes delivered only one shot on goal by Igor Akinfeev, who did not hit the target. 

But the second half, the team began with an exchange of dangerous moments. With the hosts, Wilker Angel almost sent the ball head into the far corner after a corner, and guests with a long-range shot on target showed Nikola Vlašić. 

Moreover, the wards of Igor Shalimov after an hour of the game claimed a penalty. Odise Roshi fell into the penalty area after the martial arts with Hördur Magnusson, but the judge, after taking a couple of minutes for reflection and a conversation with his assistants, did not point to the point.

And in the 61st minute, CSKA managed to open an account. All the same, Vlašić launched a goal attack with a magnificent cutting pass to the left flank of Ivan Oblyakov, and he executed a neat cross on Fedor Chalov, who did not miss an empty corner. 

Thus, the last RPL top scorer last season scored the sixth goal in the current championship draw and the first since November 10 of last year. Then Chalov hit the gates of Sochi. 

Victor Goncharenko’s wards did not stop at this and immediately noted one more goal. This time, Fyodor delivered a dangerous blow from the penalty area, which Eugene Gorodov managed with great difficulty. However, the goalkeeper was not able to fend off Vlašić’s shot on finishing Horvath scored the tenth goal this season. 

After that, the defense of “Akhmat” finally fell apart and allowed CSKA to instantly bring the score to a crushing one. This time, Arnor Sigurdsson in the penalty area calmly beat Angel and delivered an unbeaten blow for Gorodov. So CSKA scored three goals in six minutes. 

The point in the game six minutes before the final whistle was put by Andrey Semenov. The defender sent the shell into his own gate, trying to interrupt the cross on Nayair Tiknizyan, who replaced him. 

CSKA won a second victory in a row after the return of Goncharenko and in the third match in a row did not allow the opponent to hit their goal. Moreover, the army team again defeated Akhmat. In the first round, three unanswered balls flew into the gates of Grozny. Such results allowed the army team to catch up with Rostov in the standings.

The lack of points and the second consecutive draw of “Rostov”

In turn, the wards of Valery Karpin at the exit did not manage to print the gates of the outsider Krylia Sovetov, who held the second meeting under the leadership of Andrei Talalayev.

As in the duel with Lokomotiv a few days ago, the Samara team chose to act “second number” and from the first minutes went on the defensive, betting on counterattacks.

However, “Rostov” did not get much ahead, and the ball practically did not reach Yevgeny Frolov. Even the removal as part of the opponent did not help. In the middle of the first half, Vladimir Poluyakhtov received a direct red card for a rough game against Dmitry Chistyakov. The defender also had to leave the field. And the judge Nikolai Voloshin, having watched the replay, removed the player “Wings”.

Nevertheless, the moments at the gates of the hosts in the first half practically did not arise. After the break, the situation has not changed much. Rostov owned the advantage most of the time, but could not pass the opponent’s defensive redoubts. Hence a large number of long-range strikes. So, Matthias Normann delivered a good shot from 25 meters away, but Evgeny Frolov confidently managed it.

And in the 55th minute the lineups leveled. Young defender Danila Vedernikov, who replaced instead of Chistyakov, received a second yellow card for a rough game against Nikita Chernov.

In the end, Talalayev’s wards acted much more dangerously, who in addition added a couple of promising counterattacks. However, the account was never opened, and both teams drew in the RPL for the second time in a row.
