Sychevy's perfect hat-trick, Galaktionov's successful farewell and Claudinho's victorious exit: what did the 17th round of the RPL remember

Incredible ending from "Akhmat"

The departure of Mikhail Galaktionov from the "Paris of Nizhny Novgorod" was expected all autumn.

It was assumed that in the near future he would head Lokomotiv.

But only in November, the rumors turned into reality.

After the match with Akhmat, the coach announced that he was leaving the club, and a couple of days later he signed an agreement with the Muscovites.

At parting, the wards presented the mentor with an excellent gift, having won two victories in a row.

First, they managed to sensationally defeat CSKA on the road, and then at home - the Grozny team, who had gained a good move.

Moreover, after their success in the confrontation with Zenit, they looked extremely faded and made a huge number of mistakes in defense.

The apotheosis was Yuri Zhuravlev's unsuccessful discount to his goalkeeper in the episode with the second goal, which was intercepted by Timur Suleymanov.

Sergey Tashuev even complained that the trip to St. Petersburg took away a huge amount of emotions from the players.

As a result, Nizhny Novgorod by the 71st minute brought the score to devastating.

Even before the break, the debut goal in the RPL was scored by 19-year-old Yaroslav Mikhailov.

Along the way, he became the youngest scorer in team history in the Premier League.

And in the second half, the already mentioned Suleymanov and Dmitry Rybchinsky scored.

However, in the end, the hosts almost lost a solid handicap.

Tashuev's substitutions worked.

Fresh Yevgeny Kharin completed an effective serve for Vladimir Ilyin.

And shortly before the final whistle, Artyom Timofeev hit someone else's goal at the corner feed.

Moreover, Hamid Agalarov hit the crossbar between two goals.

And already in the time added by the referee, Artur Nigmatullin saved the partners a couple of times.

Canceled goal-handsome "Ural"

On a positive note, finished the first part of the season and "Ural".

After two draws, he defeated Fakel at home and ended the year in the top 10 of the RPL table, despite the fact that he was last in early September.

However, then the team issued a record seven-match streak in which they scored 17 points.

So much on such a segment, she did not knock out even once in history.

In Voronezh, the newcomers of the team showed themselves great again.

Lazar Rangelovic provided two assists.

Now he has seven points in the “goal + pass” system (4 + 3) in nine RPL games.

And defender Emmerson, who moved from SKA-Khabarovsk in the summer, marked his debut goal, successfully playing with his head on a set-piece.

It is noteworthy that Andrey Egorychev managed to open an account.

The midfielder was born in Voronezh and worked at the local DYUSSHOR-15, although he did not have time to play for Fakel.

Despite this, he defiantly did not celebrate, raising his hands up.

But this did not give much consolation to the team, which has not known victories in all tournaments for 11 matches, and has not yet beaten anyone away this season. 

The hosts, in the end, could bring the matter to a rout.

Alexey Kashtanov put a point in a beautiful combination, in which there was a place for a classy heel pass from Oleg Shatov.

However, the referee canceled the goal due to Yegorychev's foul on the opponent.

His decision greatly upset the president of the club, Grigory Ivanov, who expressed the opinion that such spectacular goals could not be canceled.

Corporate standards of "Rostov"

And Rostov, in a proprietary manner, defeated the Wings of the Soviets on the road and left for the winter break third.

As in the confrontation with Dynamo, the southerners owned the ball less often than the opponent and delivered almost four times fewer shots (seven against 25).

However, the hosts only once managed to upset Sergei Pesyakov, who made nine saves.

The guests were once again rescued by counterattacks and standards.

Only Daniil Glebov scored from the game in their composition, scoring three goals in the last four matches.

The other two came from standards.

Not surprisingly, the team leads the league in this indicator.

They have already brought her more than half of the goals - 17 out of 32.

A separate issue is penalties.

The team of Valery Karpin in Samara broke 11th, and before repeating the record of the championships of Russia, he lacks only two.

But Nikolai Komlichenko has already established a kind of achievement, earning the sixth penalty.

This is the best result, at least since the 2008 season, when we started tracking this indicator.

In the end, the striker additionally made a productive discount for Maxim Osipenko after Daniil Utkin's free-kick.

In the current RPL draw, the striker gave the fourth assist, despite the fact that in the past he made only three.

Timely substitutions for Zenith

And Zenit again almost lost points in a match with an opponent inferior in class.

Torpedo, which occupies the last place, successfully defended its possessions at home for 70 minutes, although it practically did not go beyond the middle of the field.

An indicative fact: the hosts struck the only shot on target shortly before the final whistle.

Petersburgers, on the contrary, had a lot of chances, but they sinned with inaccuracy.

And in a couple of episodes, Yegor Baburin rescued partners.

However, as is often the case, substitutions saved the defending champion.

Claudinho, who remained on the bench, barely appeared on the field, gave a thin pass into the penalty area for Malcolm, who scored the 12th goal in the current RPL season.

Next, the midfielder scored on his own, putting an end to a quick counterattack.

Moreover, it was organized by two other reservists - Mateo Casierra and Gustavo Mantua.

It is not surprising that the wards of Sergei Semak are the first in the league in terms of the number of goals scored by substitutes - ten.

Perhaps the most important event for them was the end of the scandal around Dmitry Chistyakov.

The defender got into the application, although he did not receive playing time.

At the end of the meeting, he stressed that the conflict had been completely resolved after a conversation with the club's general director, Alexander Medvedev.

“We are a team, this moment only rallied us.

It was nice to feel such support within the team.

Many thanks to the fans too.

We are all human, we all make mistakes,” he said.

The humiliating defeat of Krasnodar

And the biggest surprise of the tour was the defeat inflicted on Krasnodar by Orenburg.

On the one hand, such a result can hardly be called sensational, given the excellent form of the RPL novice and the poor condition of the opponent.

On the other hand, the southerners have not looked so helpless for a long time, and the final score (1:5) is unpleasantly surprising.

One of the reasons for the misfire was personnel difficulties.

Due to disqualifications, the meeting was missed by the leading legionnaires John Cordoba and Mihailo Bagnac.

And in the first half, due to injuries, Caio Pantalean and Nikita Krivtsov were forced to leave the field.

In addition, the guests started the meeting extremely unsuccessfully and missed already in the second minute from Vladimir Sychev.

After that, they were forced to open up, and the fast players of the attacking host group gladly burst into free zones in the opponent's half and regularly created chances.

Of course, Sychev was especially unstoppable.

The striker did not score in two rounds of the RPL in a row and took out all the anger on the wards of Alexander Storozhuk.

He not only scored three times, but scored the so-called perfect hat-trick: he upset Matvey Safonov once with his head, as well as with his left and right legs.

Particularly spectacular was the third goal with a heel from close range.

Also, the forward turned out to be only the sixth performer in the last ten years, who recorded more than one hat-trick in the RPL season.

In the 2020/21 draw, Serdar Azmun and Artyom Dziuba had two each.

Now a native of Crimea can try to rewrite their achievement.

In the meantime, he helped Orenburg win the biggest victory in history in the elite division and score five in a match for the first time.

Close to the record and indicators of home meetings.

In them, the team of Marcel Lichka won seven victories with one draw and the same number of defeats.

This is the best result in the league.

And in terms of the number of goals at home (26), only Zenit (31) is ahead of them.
