The referee in charge of tonight's game is Nikita Churikov, who was born in Rossiya and belongs to the college of Moscow. He is a referee in the style of Pierluigi Collina, who does not tolerate foul play, and will not allow player's disputing his decisions or throwing their toys out of the pram!
Min.6, Irakliy Schetkin has got some magic feet and shows us all his trickery to get into a great position in the box, unfortunately for him, he's a complete donkey and tripped over his twinkle toes and face planted the ball, which proceeds to roll out harmlessly for a goal kick.
Min.11, how rubbish of Kasyan Tereshin. Ermolay Vinogradov put the ball on a plate for him and instead of hitting it with his right foot it cannoned of his left shin wide of the goal. Hmmm, why is he playing in this team?
Min.15, Danila Snegirev sees space on the byline and he runs into it and crosses towards the head of Vasili Foroponov. However, Sergei Astakhov decided he fancied doing his job and cleared it with an assured header. Vasili Foroponov, is holding his side on the ground and complaining bitterly about Sergei Astakhov's elbow to his ribs at the same time, what a talent he has there...get up you nancy.
Min.19, Ermolay Vinogradov sends a lovely pass to the feet of Vasili Foroponov who races through the defence going 1-on-1 with the keeper.... beautiful goal! The referee's disallowed it; the linesman's flag was up. I don't think he got that one right, and the players agree. Vasili Foroponov has lost his temper and wants to go have words with the assistant. He's having to be restrained by his team mates. You can understand his frustration.
The ref is taking no bull today and Vasili Foroponov is booked for complaining.
Min.23, Sergei Astakhov got on the on the end of that poor clearance by the defence and calmly chested the ball down and struck a beautiful half volley towards the goal. It looked as if the keeper tipped that over, but the ref's given a goal kick. Great effort!
Min.25, Silvestr Polunin has headed over from 4 yards out, after a pin point cross from René Roco. Wasted opportunity.
Min.29, Fiodor Severyanov threads a through ball to Aleksandr Elkov who times his run poorly and has to wait for the ball on the left hand side. Once it got to him, he immediately passed the ball to Vasili Foroponov who hit it instantaneously towards Gennadiy Yatchenko' goal, but it never stopped rising. Goal kick.
Min.37, Kondrat Khudyakov has a pop, but Nazir Bezrodny takes that one with ease.
Min.41, Silvestr Polunin shoots from distance, but it will take something special to beat Nazir Bezrodny who gathers it with ease.
Min.45, half time here, with the score at 0-0, as they say, it's not over til the fat lady sings, so lets see what the second half brings us.
The home team had 52 %. possession of the ball.
Min 46, from the journalist tower we can see that the home side are attacking via without special attention in any area and focusing its defense without special attention in any area. The away team is trying to attack Long shots and focusing its defense without special attention in any area.
Min.59,the ref has halted proceeding whilst Sergei Astakhov receives treatment for what looks like a painful injury.
Min.60, Oh dear, Sergei Astakhov is down and shows no signs of recovering quickly, our touchline correspondent is suggesting its a problem with the Grade 1 sprain of the ankle . After a haul of bad luck he will not be able to return to the game and he must leave, this situation was not expected by anybody and the coach is very worried looking at his bench, we'll see what happens.
The tannoy guy announces the substitution of Sergei Astakhov for Juan de Dios Herrera , the fans dont seem overly happy at that decision, but lets see if they're right.
Min.65, shot by Ermolay Vinogradov that beat Gennadiy Yatchenko who was unsighted with the melee of players in front of him, fortunately the post has saved him on this occasion.
Min.67, Fiodor Severyanov tries to play a 1-2 with Kasyan Tereshin, but Iago Zarra's pressure pays off as he steals the ball and sets his team off on a counter attack...
Min.68, Nazir Bezrodny has to the corner to challenge Irakliy Schetkin for the ball but erm, he failed. Fortunately for him, Igor Kanadin of AFC Sakhalin has got across to cover him and plays it safe and gives away the corner.
Min.71, René Roco shot from the edge of the area, a pretty timid shot and easily gathered by Nazir Bezrodny, who without any delay, got rid of it with a long throw towards his forwards, starting a counterattack.
Min.72, the clearance by the defence was intercepted by Kasyan Tereshin who tried to go past Juan de Dios Herrera but he failed miserably and loses possession.
Min.72, Eduard Ugolnikov can't get away from Demyan Khlebov and loses the ball before he has the chance to send a cross in.
Min.80,'the defence of Zarnitsa has cut the long ball towards the right touchline of AFC Sakhalin, Zinoviy Dubov fought like a young wild boar but he could not leave with the ball.' Thanks for that Manuel.
