The second removal of Barinov, the third defeat of Spartak and the scandal in Grozny: what will be remembered for the sixth round of the RPL

Zenit's unbeaten streak and Dziuba's pairing with Azmun

On the eve of the break for the matches of the national teams in the RPL, the leader changed again. It was the reigning champion of the country, Zenit, who beat CSKA in the national championship for the fourth time in a row. As a result, Sergei Semak's wards extended two unbeaten runs at once - in the Russian championship in general and in the confrontation with the Moscow teams in their field, in particular. Both make up 15 meetings and include 11 wins and four draws.

One of the main events of the match, as expected, was the triumphant appearance of Artem Dziuba as a substitute.

He stayed on the bench for the second time this season, and got a chance to prove himself less than half an hour before the end of regular time.

As a result, 18 minutes were enough for him to assist Serdar Azmun and score the first point for performance this season.

The forward himself reacted violently to this event, and after the final whistle he published a message on social networks: “All with a victory.

Our bunch is in action. "

It is noteworthy that this duo has already organized the 17th goal for two.

An Iranian acted as an assistant five times, a Russian 12.

The extravagance of "Dynamo" and the sequence of Barinov

Zenit's first place was made possible thanks to Dynamo's misfire in the match against Lokomotiv. The hosts were not helped even by the presence in the stands of the captain of the Washington Capitals Alexander Ovechkin. Sandro Schwarz's wards bombarded Marinato Guilherme's goal and scored 24 shots in total, but failed to score more than one goal for the third round in a row. Sebastian Shimanski scored with an accurate shot from a distance and responded to another goal by Fedor Smolov. For the fourth time in the last three meetings, he upset rivals and entered the top 10 best scorers in the history of the Russian championships (88 goals - the same for Valery Esipov), at the same time ruining Anton Shunin's impressions of the jubilee, 300th game for the blue and white.

In turn, Dmitry Barinov also extended a kind of streak, for the second time in the current championship he was removed from the field for two yellow cards. And this is especially surprising, because previously this had not happened to him at an adult level. It is noteworthy that in the actions of the defensive player of the Russian national team, it is possible to trace the observance of certain time intervals. If in the game against Ufa he was presented with two mustard plasters with a difference of 29 minutes, this time - with an interval of half an hour. However, the head coach of Lokomotiv was not upset by this event, not the most impressive debut of Alexis Bek-Bek, not just one shot on the opponent's goal after the break.

“It seems to me that it was the best game in this segment in the Russian championship.

The pace of the match did not stop for a second.

It was a great and fun game for the fans.

There were good moments both for us and for Dynamo.

In the first half, they created problems for us, because Dynamo played three defenders.

Unfortunately, we were unable to create a large number of chances at the end of the match ... Are there any chances to see Bek-Bek at the base in the next match?

We bought it to play and not sit on the bench.

Today he showed that he has qualities.

There is something to work on, but it is clear that this is a player of a great future, "- quotes Marko Nikolic" Championship ".

Productivity of Cordoba and the Rubin Crisis

If Beka-Beka is a footballer of the prospect for Lokomotiv, then for Krasnodar John Cordoba has already become a leader and main force. The Colombian has scored in the last four matches, and in two of them he also acted as an assistant. All this helped him to complete the starting segment of the championship with seven effective actions (5 + 2) in the asset and become the leader of the RPL according to the "goal + pass" system. At the same time, his transfer to Alexei Ionov became a masterpiece: the striker made a discount on his partner with his chest and allowed him to “shoot” Yuri Dyupin. As a result, the deserved title of the best player of the meeting.

The confrontation between Krasnodar and Rubin was remembered for the abundance of dangerous moments and 29 shots on goal performed by both teams, but Kazan could not upset Matvey Safonov (0: 2) and extended the unsuccessful streak. Taking into account the League of Conferences, they were unable to achieve victory in the fourth meeting in a row. Even the appearance on the field of the newly acquired defender Montassar Talbi did not help. Another unpleasant result was the replenishment of the infirmary. Mikhail Kostyukov was added to Khvich Kvaratskhelia, George Despotovich and Oleg Shatov. The forward was forced to leave the field already in the 28th minute, and in the second half, Hwang In Byeom also asked for a replacement, whose legs were cramping. For this reason, Leonid Slutsky did not agree with the opinion about the decline in the team's game, pointing out the presence of personnel problems.

“The absence of Despotovich and Kvaratskhelia struck hard.

Because they are our key players in the attack group.

Naturally, we do not have full-fledged replacements for these players.

It is quite difficult to carry out especially attacking actions when a lot is based on these players ”, - the press service of“ Rubin ”quotes the head coach.

The Spartak fiasco and claims against Sobolev

In turn, the current silver medalist of the Russian championship is in a difficult situation. But if Rubin's can be explained by injuries, then Spartak's problems are primarily in the game. Rui Vitoria's wards with great difficulty create chances at the opponent's goal and this time they managed to distinguish themselves only after a set-piece - a corner kick ended with Samuel Gigot's discount and Roman Zobnin's accurate shot. But it was not possible to retain the advantage. The hosts conceded twice in six minutes - and both times, not without Ayrton's connivance. In the first case, the Brazilian was left against two rival footballers and decided not to close any of them, and in the second he missed the future of the assists Dmitry Vorobyov. In such conditions, the guests did not need any "help" from the referees to win.Before the start of the meeting, many were wary due to the presence of Alexei Stipidi in the refereeing brigade - presumably the brother of Dmitry Stipidi, the mentor of the Sochi youth team.

Spartak suffered their third defeat in six rounds, as a result of which the atmosphere around the team again heated up to the limit. The calm was broken by Zarema Salikhova, who spoke in an extremely derogatory manner about the qualifications of the head coach, and Vitoria himself was forced to answer questions about his resignation during a press conference. There were rumors about future replacements of the Portuguese, including the former mentor of Domenico Tedesco. The conflict with the fans, who once again hung out a banner addressed to Alexander Sobolev, continues to flare up. As it became known, the reason for their dissatisfaction is the fact that on the eve of the fourth round meeting with Ural the striker was seen in a restaurant.

“The striker decided in the evening to celebrate the signing of a new agreement with his teammates.

The main complaint of Spartak fans is that the players went to a restaurant the day before the game against Ural.

This is the main motive of the banners that were at the game with Sochi, - said a source to the Championship.

Berisha's ambiguous behavior and Talalaev's explanation

The match between “Akhmat” and “Arsenal” turned out to be eventful and could well be remembered both thanks to the spectacular goal of the Tula team with a long-range shot and the goal from Grozny in the 95th minute.

But all this was in the shadow of an episode that happened in the middle of the first half.

The defender of the guests Uros Radakovic noticed that his team-mate needed medical attention and rolled the ball towards the sideline, but Bernard Berisha, who sharply accelerated, did not allow him to go into touch.

Kosovar removed the defender in one move and made a pass to Mohamed Konate, which later turned out to be effective.

On this occasion, a conflict broke out between the parties.

Berisha himself said that he had not seen the opponent's fall, and that Radakovich took the ball's kickback for a technical defect.

A similar statement was made in Akhmat itself, while reminding Arsenal about a case three years ago.

“In the 91st minute, the opposing team scored exactly the same goal. When Ivanov was lying on the field, Kombarov gave the pass, threw it off, scored. It was even more offensive. We did not show this to the players, but the coaching staff was aware of it. That's why you saw that we showed more emotion than the players. The players did not understand what happened, and the coaching staff told the partners on the contrary that I'm sorry, but you had the same episode, you did the same. Nothing like that here. There is no need to play nobility, ”Talalaev said on Match TV.

Apparently, the head coach of Grozny recalled the moment at the end of the match of the 21st round of the RPL of the 2017/18 season.

Then two players of "Akhmat" collided with each other, as a result of which Oleg Ivanov, who was in possession of the ball, was injured and collapsed onto the lawn.

The Tulyans did not stop and after a few seconds Artyom Dziuba helped Goran Chaushich to distinguish himself.

It is noteworthy that it was the Serb who needed the help of doctors in the meeting of the sixth round of the current championship.

Unsurprisingly, Arsenal accused the opponent of violating fair play principles and noted that the two episodes cannot be compared.

According to the Tulyaks, “no one was lying on the lawn, no one kicked the ball out-of-bounds, no one focused on the injury of a partner”.
