Events
Match Events

- 10' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Artyom Makarchuk makes it 0-1.

- 20' The energy levels are beginning to show. Aleksey Berezutski might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 25' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. PFK Sochi needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 27' Ivelin Popov catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 27.
- 27' Georgii Melkadze has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ivelin Popov on 27 minute.
- 32' 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.
