Berg's four points, three penalties in Kazan, sending off Melkadze and Miranchuk: what is the RPL round 30 memorable for

The Mi-8AMTSh-VN special forces transport and combat helicopter is currently undergoing flight tests. Andrey Boginsky, Director General of the Russian Helicopters holding, spoke about this. Rostec explained that the new machine is being developed taking into account the experience gained in modern military conflicts. The helicopter is based on the Mi-8/17 family of machines, which have become one of the most popular military helicopters in the world. Experts call the Mi-8AMTSh-VN a "powerful weapon" and a new stage in the development of the Russian helicopter industry. According to analysts, the new brainchild of the Russian aircraft industry has "great prospects."

17th goal of Azmun and Vasyutin's mistake

Having secured the championship title ahead of schedule, Zenit won a strong-willed victory over Rostov in the last round match. Sergei Semak from the first minutes released a reserve squad on the field, in particular, for the first time in his career, 18-year-old midfielder Daniil Shamkin got into the starting lineup of St. Petersburg. And the place in the goal was taken nominally by the third goalkeeper of the team, Alexander Vasyutin.

As a result, it was after his mistake in the middle of the first half that Baktiyor Zainutdinov opened the scoring. The goalkeeper did not cope with a penalty kick from the native of Kazakhstan.

However, in the second half of the meeting, the coaching staff of the guests threw Serdar Azmun with Artyom Dziuba into the battle, and towards the end of the match, Zenit gave the tired opponent a shot. Within four minutes, the champion scored twice. First, Emiliano Rigoni struck an accurate shot into the near corner from outside the penalty area, and then Azmun closed the cross from the right.

The goal allowed the Iranian to catch up with Dziuba in the scorers' race of the tournament. Both strikers finished the RPL season with 17 goals. But Artyom became the best assistant of the championship for the second time in a row. The captain of the Russian national team chalked up 12 assists.

Goal and removal of Anton Miranchuk

Victory was also achieved by Lokomotiv, which had guaranteed itself a silver medal in advance. On the road, the railway workers beat Ural with a minimum score. At the same time, Yekaterinburg residents played their first match after the resignation from the post of head coach Dmitry Parfyonov. His place was taken by Yuri Matveev.

The only goal in this meeting was scored by Anton Miranchuk. In added time to the first half, he sent the shell into the far corner from outside the penalty area and scored the first goal in almost a year. The last time the midfielder distinguished himself was in the RPL match with Rostov on August 31, 2019.

And at the end of the meeting, Anton was marked with a minus sign, earning a red card. And the second "yellow card" Miranchuk received for the simulation in someone else's penalty area.

Eight saves by Melikhov and four goals from Krasnodar

Krasnodar, unlike Zenit and Lokomotiv, approached the match of the last round extremely motivated, because the team needed a victory over Akhmat in order to take third place and make it to the Champions League qualification.

Murad Musayev's wards achieved it, although they tickled the nerves of the fans. The hosts managed to break through the young goalkeeper Alexander Melikhov, who made eight saves, only in the 43rd minute. Markus Berg just shot his head from the goalkeeper line.

However, in the time added by the referee, “Akhmat” managed to equalize the score. Odise Roshi struck a wonderful blow from outside the penalty area. Nevertheless, the refereeing team, having watched the replay, canceled the goal due to an offside position at Bernard Berisha.

After the break, Grozny had to open up, for which they immediately paid. Krasnodar scored three times in nine minutes. Berg scored a brace and also made two assists for Remy Cabell and Wanderson. Thus, the experienced Swede finished the RPL season with 11 points for performance (9 + 2).

Beautiful goals by Shchennikov and Oblyakov and the achievement of Akinfeev

In turn, CSKA, which could rise to third place in the event of a misfire of Krasnodar, beat Tambov, but could not improve its position in the standings.

It is curious that on the eve of the last meeting of the season, the capital club announced that the results of testing the army legionnaires Herdur Magnusson and Arnor Sigurdsson for coronavirus were "found to be dubious." This did not prevent the red and blue from entering the field, but the Icelanders did not get into the application for the meeting.

As a result, Viktor Goncharenko's charges sent two unanswered goals into the opponent's goal, and both turned out to be beautiful. In the first half, Georgy Shchennikov scored with a strong kick from 15 meters, and after the break, Ivan Oblyakov struck effectively from outside the penalty area.

Also in CSKA it is necessary to note Igor Akinfeev, who came in second in the number of matches in the Russian championship. By this indicator, he caught up with the head coach of Zenit Sergei Semak. In the asset of both 457 meetings, and they are second only to ex-CSKA defender Sergei Ignashevich (489).

As for Tambov, the guests made only one shot to the opponent's goal during the whole game. Moreover, at the end of the first half striker Georgy Melkadze, rented from Spartak, was sent off. The player received the first yellow card for a blow to the legs of Igor Diveev, and the second for a go-ahead to Konstantin Maradishvili's face.

Ignatiev's first goal for Rubin and the referee's decision in favor of Spartak

After being defeated by Zenit in the Russian Cup, Spartak managed to finish the season on a positive note. In the match of the last round of the RPL, the red-and-white in Kazan beat Rubin - 2: 1.

Moreover, all the goals in this meeting were scored from the penalty spot. At the 38th minute, the hosts' defender Carlos Starfelt blocked the way to the goal for the projectile after Jordan Larsson hit, and Zelimkhan Bakaev converted the penalty kick.

Shortly before the break, the violation of the rules occurred in the penalty area of "Spartak". Ayrton knocked down Khvichu Kvaratskhelia, and Ivan Ignatiev confidently beat Alexander Maksimenko from the spot. The striker, acquired from Krasnodar in the winter, opened the scoring for Rubin.

Finally, the victory in the second half of the match was also snatched by the red and white thanks to a penalty kick. This time the penalty spot was realized by Larsson.

Moreover, at the end of the match, referee Pavel Kukuyan could have appointed a penalty kick against the red-and-white goal - Alexander Maksimenko, playing at the exit, knocked down all the same Kvaratskhelia, but considered that the Georgian allowed a simulation.

The victory allowed Spartak to rise to seventh place, but the red and white still had their worst season in the Russian championship in the last 12 years. In 2008, the team took the eighth line in the final table of the national championship.

Fameye's seventh ball and Klimovich's saves

Thus, Dynamo became the only Moscow team that failed to end the season with a victory. The blue and white houses unexpectedly lost with the minimum score to Orenburg, which closed the standings.

The hosts had an advantage throughout the game, but did not manage to break through the Belarusian goalkeeper of opponents Andrei Klimovich. And the guests scored the only goal after an hour of the match. Joel Famillet sent a shell into the net from close range after the transfer of ex-Dynamo player Sergei Terekhov. Ganets scored the seventh goal in the RPL and lost only to Djordje Despotovich in the team scorers' race (8).

But this failure did not prevent Dynamo from taking the sixth place, which in the event of Zenit's victory in the Russian Cup will allow Kirill Novikov's team to play in the Europa League.

The ninth zero draw of "Ufa" and the first "cracker" Chernov

Ufa, which lost the chance to move up to sixth place after being defeated by Dynamo, drew with Arsenal in the last round - 0: 0. For the ninth time in the season ended, Vadim Evseev's wards parted with an opponent in the Premier League without scored goals.

And Alexey Chernov, who replaced the injured Alexander Belenov at the last line of Ufa, managed to play the first clean sheet of his career.

Departure of Krylia Sovetov and Khimki's desire to advance to the RPL

Finally, the game between Wings of the Soviets and Sochi did not take place due to the outbreak of coronavirus in the camp of the southerners. A technical victory will be recorded for Samara, but it will not help the team get ahead of Tambov, which surpasses its rival in personal meetings.

At the same time, the RPL newcomer was supposed to meet with Sochi last week, but also got three points without a fight.

Thus, Krylyam Sovetov could only hope that Khimki, who had made it to the Russian Cup final, would refuse to be promoted, but the Moscow Region club on Wednesday announced its readiness to play in the RPL next season.

After that, Wings of the Soviets announced their desire to apply to the league because of a violation of the sports principle.

“At some points, due to the coronavirus, the sporting principle was violated. In any case, we took 15th place. Today is the last round. Tomorrow, on July 23, at the general meeting of the RPL, a decision will be made, and on Friday the executive committee will make it finally. It cannot be said that something is unfair, "Komsomolskaya Pravda, the head of the club's press service Maxim Sestnov, quotes.
