Min.3, high kick of Mirton after a wonderful forward pass through the defense by Pavel Kasparov to Andrei Akinfeev couldn't finish off that great move by Mirton. Andrei Akinfeev protested about the shirt pulling he was the victim of. Min.12 That was a wasted chance by Vladimir Tikhonov... 1-on-1 with José Paulino and 5 yards from goal, and he's put it right into the stands where the FC Novokosino fans are sitting... you can hear the donkey brays ringing from around the stadium! Min.20, Yulian Fanin put a cross in towards Angel Jurado at the front post, but Marcin Kupcewicz came and made a superb punch out in a difficult position. Min.27, how rubbish of Vladimir Tikhonov. Yuri Denisov 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.32, Sofron Baranov sent a long ball towards Dmitry Vlasov however José Paulino decides to come from his area and calmly hoof it back up the field. Min.36, Mirton had two clear cut chances in attack but José Paulino kept them both out. Andrei Akinfeev then had a third chance at scoring, but a last ditch challenge made sure that he didnt. I dont know why, but Andrei Akinfeev is complaining that he didnt get a penalty for that. The ref is taking no bull today and Andrei Akinfeev is booked for complaining. Min.39, Goal !!!, The ball is played down the left touchline to Angel Jurado. There's nothing open on the left so he dribbles towards the centre. He's taking it to the edge of the area looking for the shot... he hits the ball full blast into the back of the net! SUPERB GOAL. The score now stands at 0-1. You can hear a pin drop in this stadium after the away team opened the score board. Have the home fans had cold water poured over their heads? Even the hooligans are quiet now, amazing! Min.41, Ruslan Churikov turned Ciprian Alecsandrescu dizzy with some wonderful dribbling on the left touchline until he suffered a nasty tackle to which the referee gave the foul. Ciprian Alecsandrescu has been giving his marching orders, his manager will not be happy. Min.42, Azat Ryazantsev sent in a dangerous cross shot free-kick, but it did not surprise Marcin Kupcewicz, who was able to protect his goal from the the ball with his fingertips. Min.43, Sofron Baranov sends a lovely pass to the feet of Andrei Akinfeev 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. Andrei Akinfeev 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 Andrei Akinfeev is booked for complaining. Andrei Akinfeev has been dismissed after picking up his second yellow card in the game.

Min.45, half time here, with the score at 0-1, 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 73 %. possession of the ball.

Watching Mirton come out of the tunnel, you have to wonder if they have anything left to give. FC Novokosino on the other hand are looking full of confidence as they come running out onto the pitch. Min 46, from the journalist tower we can see that the home side are attacking via by the center and focusing its defense without special attention in any area. The away team is trying to attack by the left touchline and focusing its defense by the center. Min.49, Pavel Korotkov spots Ruslan Churikov breaking free from his marker, but his attempted pass into the space in front is easily intercepted by the defence. Min.53, Vladimir Tikhonov of Mirton shoots but hits the bar. He's got a crack at the rebound all alone in front of José Paulino... how did he miss that?! Unbelievable. Min.59,'the defence of FC Novokosino has cut the long ball towards the right touchline of Mirton, Sofron Baranov fought like a young wild boar but he could not leave with the ball.' Thanks for that Manuel. Min.61, great run down the left wing by Dmitry Vlasov who spots Fernando Zubicoeta in acres of space and tries to pick him out, but that was just naff. Min.70, Vladimir Tikhonov 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.86, Dmitry Vlasov shoots from distance, but it will take something special to beat José Paulino who gathers it with ease. Min.87, Possession is all very well but you have to make it count, and Angel Jurado needs to make the pass. Now he plays the ball into the midfield, but the pass is too soft and poorly aimed. The rival defence intercept the ball without any problems. Poor; very poor.

Min.90, The whistle has been blown, ending the game at 0-1. The home team had 66 %. possession of the ball.
