  • 64' Vladislav Yakovlev has so much to prove this time. He replaces Edgar Sevikyan on 64 minute.
  • 69' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Timur Suleimanov made 355 appearances and scored 21 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 72' It is a substitution in FK Spartak Moskva team. Tomas Tavares is replaced by Daniil Khlusevich on 72 minute.
