Events
Match Events
- 0' That's the starting whistle at Rostov Arena. Ninety minutes of football awaits between FK Rostov and FK Nizhny Novgorod.
- 5' FK Rostov started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
- 10' Maksim Osipenko, a Russia , has 13 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 15' FK Nizhny Novgorod are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 20' A quiet spell here at Rostov Arena. FK Rostov seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 25' Both keepers have barely been tested. FK Rostov and FK Nizhny Novgorod are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 30' 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.
- 35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Daniil Utkin made 275 appearances and scored 26 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 40' 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 Aleksandr Selyava suffering a number of foals already.
- 45' Timur Suleimanov needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 1 Red cards this season.
- 46' Another substitution for FK Nizhny Novgorod to replace Edgar Sevikyan by Denis Glushakov on 46 minute.
- 51' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His FK Rostov side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 55' Against the run of play, Andrey Langovich has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 60' With 0 assists to his name this season, Edgar Sevikyan is clearly more than just a goal scorer for FK Nizhny Novgorod.
- 62' That is a Yellow card for FK Nizhny Novgorod. Mamadou Maiga will be fuming at that decision.
- 64' A goal from the Russia international Timur Suleimanov! He fires home on 64 to make it 1-1!
- 69' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FK Rostov that had 373 games and scored 315 goals.
- 71' FK Nizhny Novgorod make a change. Timur Suleimanov trudges off to be replaced by Momo Yansane on 71 minutes.
- 76' The supporters are chanting for Evgenii Chernov. He replaces Andrey Langovich on 76 minute.
- 80' Dmitrii Rybchinskii makes way for Vladislav Yakovlev at the 80 minute mark. A tactical switch from FK Nizhny Novgorod.
- 83' Ivan Komarov is ready to make an impact after coming on for Dmitrii Poloz at the 83 minute mark.
- 88' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 90' Time for substitution for FK Rostov. Daniil Utkin is replaced by Aleksandr Selyava.
- 90' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Daniil Kornyushin on 90 minutes.
- The final score is 2-1.
