Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Nizhny Novgorod Stadium will turn into a battlefield for FK Nizhny Novgorod and FK Khimki.
  • 5' The travelling FK Khimki supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 10' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FK Nizhny Novgorod needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 15' Kirill Kravtsov has been relatively quiet despite scoring 9 goals in his last 394 appearances.
  • 20' It looks like no one’s ball. FK Nizhny Novgorod is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 25' Dmitrii Tikhii needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 30' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 35' The referee calls foul for Timur Suleimanov. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 40' Over 40 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 45' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Ilya Lantratov suffering a number of foals already.
  • 46' FK Khimki manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Besard Sabovic is hanging Ilya Kamyshev on the field on 46 minute.
  • 51' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 56' FK Nizhny Novgorod have won 135 goals from 149 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 58' Akos Kecskes is replacing Kirill Gotsuk for the FK Nizhny Novgorod side.
  • 63' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 65' The crowd applauds Timur Suleimanov as he leaves the pitch. Iliya Berkovskiy steps in for FK Nizhny Novgorod.
  • 70' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 75' The supporters are chanting for Nemanja Glavcic. He replaces Ilya Kukharchuk on 75 minute.
  • 78' Ivan Miladinovic has so much to prove this time. He replaces Nikita Kakkoev on 78 minute.
  • 81' A moment of madness from Dmitrii Stotskii on 81 minutes earns him a Yellow card. FK Nizhny Novgorod will be frustrated.
  • 85' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Akos Kecskes on 85 minutes.
  • 86' Poor challenge from Akos Kecskes. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
