Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Fisht Olympic Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
  • 10' 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 Daler Kuzyaev suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' It looks surprising FK Rubin Kazan does not make any changes. Mikhail Ignatov has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 19' GOAL! Ruslan Bezrukov scores on 19. Assisted by Anderson Arroyo
  • 24' Supporters expect more eagerness from Kirill Zaika, as he is very good at scoring at Fisht Olympic Stadium with 3 goals in the last 2 games.
  • 29' PFK Sochi is showing some good football. However, PFK Sochi are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 34' It looks like no one’s ball. FK Rubin Kazan is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 39' PFK Sochi started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 39.
  • 44' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FK Rubin Kazan that had 208 games and scored 211 goals.
  • 46' Another change for FK Rubin Kazan made on 46 minute. Daler Kuzyaev leaves to be changed by Jacques Siwe.
  • 51' 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.
  • 56' 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.
  • 61' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Maksim Mukhin made 355 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 65' PFK Sochi manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Vladimir Ilyin is hanging Zakhar Fedorov on the field on 65 minute.
  • 68' Time for substitution for FK Rubin Kazan. Ruslan Bezrukov is replaced by Mirlind Daku.
  • 70' The referee shows PFK Sochi player a card on 70.
  • 72' The referee shows PFK Sochi player a card on 72.
  • 73' Konstantin Nizhegorodov has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ilya Rozhkov on 73 minute.
  • 75' Martin Kramaric has so much to prove this time. He replaces Kirill Zaika on 75 minute.
  • 80' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with FK Rubin Kazan winning 100% of all matches.
  • 82' The whistle greets Ignacio Saavedra as he departs to be replaced by Oleg Ivanov.
  • 87' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 88' Time for substitution for PFK Sochi. Sergey Volkov is replaced by Francois Kamano.
  • 90' A meaty challenge results in booking for Veldin Hodza on 90.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for PFK Sochi.
