Voronezh scored the first points in the RPL.
Fakel was the last from the RPL to score points in this championship. Vadim Evseev’s team won Pari NN in Voronezh.
Qualifying left Fakel no choice but to attack with large forces. The insolent Voronezh will have to return their daring football to be able to leave last place. From the very first minutes, Evseev’s team picked up a good rhythm and seriously put pressure on the defense of Pari NN. The hosts made a lot of long passes to the attacking trio Motspan – Appaev – Maksimov, won singles, threw the ball into the penalty area from the flanks and semi-flanks. As a result, only the captain of “Paris NN” Gotsuk made 12 (!) clearances before the break.
However, Torch failed to create any real scoring chances. The most interesting thing happened on the standards. Voronezh took eight corners in the first half, and after one of them they almost conceded. “Pari NN” flew into a quick counterattack, and if Maiga had passed the ball to the free Suleymanov and had not rushed to hit, then, most likely, it would have been a goal. There were other episodes where Juran’s team was able to use the opponent’s set pieces to their advantage.
Soccer turned out to be a fight, albeit not a pretty one. In 45 minutes, according to statistics, Fakel made only six shots, while Pari NN made eight (on target – 1:1). Yevseyev’s team still converted one of the corners into a goal, only the ball scored by Kvekveskiri was cancelled. Judging from the replay, the defensive midfielder of the Voronezh team pushed Sevikyan, but it was not easy to judge to what extent the push was the cause of the fall. One way or another, Evseev was not satisfied with the team’s game in attack. With so many crosses (22 per half), the strikers didn’t do enough.

Which RPL trainer will be fired next?
In the second half, the game continued in the same vein, as if there had been no rest, and then it changed with the elimination of defender Aleksandrov. Victor earned two yellow cards in four minutes. The first one is stupid! The young center back got it off the field: he flipped the ball off the spare Torch. Judge Bulanov also issued the following warning in the case, as Alexandrov hit Motspan’s ankle hard. Meanwhile, this is already the second elimination of Viktor in the RPL season – he lost the first in the match with Zenit. Such errors can only be explained by a lack of experience.
Yuran’s team is not happy with spectacular and open football anyway (if you forget about the crazy 4:5 with Spartak in the Russian Cup), and ten of them completely closed in Voronezh. “Pari NN” frankly played for a goalless draw. “Torch” continued to throw the ball into someone else’s penalty area, Evseev threw one of the best strikers in the league in terms of heading ability – Markov. And this trainer move worked! The ward of “Zenith” scored from the “second floor”. Nizhny Novgorod did not cover Alshin’s cross, while Gotsuk and Masoero made room for the striker.
But today’s “Torch” is not such a reliable team to take things to victory calmly, even in the majority. Until the 85th minute, Pari NN did not have a single shot on goal at half time, but the end was hot. Nizhny Novgorod had a chance to escape. Mendel actually knocked the ball off Masoero’s head in front of goal, and then Kukharchuk almost hit the far corner. However, in the 90 + 1 minute, Fakel caught the moment from him on the counterattack – Dolgov finished off Nizhny Novgorod.
This is how Evseev’s team won the first victory in the championship.
