  • 10' 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.
  • 15' 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 Evgeniy Staver suffering a number of foals already.

  • 64' The referee has no hesitation. Dmitry Barinov is booked for FK Lokomotiv Moskva — card on 64.

  • 73' The whistle greets Maksim Nenakhov as he departs to be replaced by Edgar Sevikyan.
  • 78' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 81' Another change for FK Rubin Kazan made on 81 minute. Veldin Hodza leaves to be changed by Valentin Vada.
