A few minutes were not enough to win Paris NN’s first game under the new coach.
Surprisingly, the last four games of these teams ended with the same result. Rostov won twice 1:0 and Pari NN the same number of times. But stability. It is true that now it is not enough for one or the other. Rostov has four games in a row without goals and with three defeats in these games. It was especially painful for Spartak on the tour before the break. At the same time, Karpin said that he was in control of the situation. It is difficult to doubt this.
In Paris NN they changed coaches. Apparently, no one believed in Sasha Ilic’s bright prospects. The team was led by Viktor Goncharenko, who immediately set himself the task of remaining in the elite and returning fans to the stadium. Ambitious. But it was advisable to prove his worth from the first match.
One week was enough for Goncharenko to make cosmetic changes to the starting lineup. It is clear that we can only talk about global restructuring in winter. However, visually the scheme and several players in it have changed slightly. For example, summer newcomers Ticic and Glazer remained in the reserve. Much more unexpectedly, defender Stamatov found himself out of the starting lineup. Some eventually left during the match, but today we saw Goncharenko’s ideas.
Karpin has a harder time finding something. Sometimes it seems like the coaching staff simply runs out of ideas. This time it is important to highlight only the new goalkeeper: Hankic made his debut at the RPL level. Komlichenko, Ronaldo and Mohebi in attack with the support of Bayramyan and Shchetinin had to think of something. But it turned out to be average.
We continue to monitor RPL:

The teams started, as expected, not very active. The hosts got used to the new combinations, but the guests did not want to use them. The first 10 minutes passed almost without attacks, but with many confrontations and small infractions. We saw the first moment in the 17th minute. The Donetsk team won the corner: the cross went straight to Osipenko’s head and then the ball hit the crossbar. I was almost unlucky when I finished: Gotsuk was ahead of everyone present.
Then there are some more difficult crossings and finally it is time for “Paris NN”. One of the most active players of the match, Boscelli, intelligently adjusted to the ball, which was jumping chaotically in front of the area, and shot powerfully towards the goal. If he had guessed correctly, the goalkeeper would not have saved him. But the ball went close to the crossbar. At the end of the half, the hosts missed another opportunity: after a corner kick, Gotsuk caught the ball with his head and hit the goal hard. But a little higher.
During the break the coaches made a defensive change, but the nature of the game did not fundamentally change. There is still a lot of fighting and a lot of joints that miraculously did not lead to injuries. Plus a complete lack of moments.
The game only came to life in the second half of the period. The locals took advantage of the first real opportunity. The Nizhny Novgorod team went on the counterattack and Boseglia finished with the ball on the wing. He slowly put it under his comfortable foot and made a clear pass to the center of the penalty area. And then Tsarukyan, who came on as a substitute, fired a great shot into the corner.

For Goncharenko, scoring a goal brought him almost childish joy. But it was necessary to maintain the result. Everything worked out exactly until the 90th minute. With the help of Boscella, Paris NN could even increase its lead. However, in the end Magkeev played irresponsibly almost in the goalkeeper’s area in the fight with Mokhebi, and the video assistants recommended Meshkov to study the replay from the monitor. He asked for a penalty that Osipenko converted.

Already in added time Rostov could have achieved victory, but they were almost unlucky. The result was a draw, which satisfied no one and did not in any way affect the teams’ position in the table.
