Akron is charming at the start of the new season: three wins, 11 goals scored.
The 3rd day of the “Best League in the World” has begun. The meeting in Zhigulevsk with the participation of Akron and Tula Arsenal pleased with a large number of goals.
The teams approached the first game of the 3rd round in a completely different state. Akron proved to be great in the first games and scored the maximum number of points. Before Friday’s match, Evgeny Kaleshin’s team shared the top row of the table with Torpedo and Khabarovsk SKA. But Arsenal had “bagels” in the “wins” and “balls scored” column. True, Tula never lost. In the two previous games, Oleksandr Storozhuk’s team scored two goals.
Results of the 2nd day of the First League:
The group of leaders in the First League is already formed. and has surprises
The first half was the worst for Arsenal. In the first minutes of the guests in no way inferior to the opponent, but fell after the first lost ball. By the way, the locals opened the scoring from the penalty spot. At first, the Tula team was saved by the crossbar, but a second later the defender prevented Abu-Said Eldarushev from sending the ball into the empty goal from a couple of meters away. As a result, a penalty kick against Arsenal. Konstantin Savichev easily beat the goalkeeper from the “point” – 1:0.
Nine minutes later, the Kaleshin guys disturbed the guests for the second time. And this time they scored from the game. Vladislav Galkin carefully put the ball into the far corner with his left foot – 2:0. Beauty! Arjen Robben would certainly approve. Akron actually converted two chances in the 30th minute, and the opponent was brought down.

In the last minutes of the first half, referee Sergei Kulikov again signaled the “point” – another penalty against Arsenal. This time Eldarushev went up to the ball and scored a goal “to the locker room” – 3:0. After that half, there was no question that Akron would extend the winning streak to three games and come out on top.
It is true that Arsenal played a ball just after the break. And I must say that the goal will be something curious. Artyom Popov shot to Jonathan Okoronquo, but missed the ball. However, the Nigerian goalkeeper confused Sergei Volkov, who threw the ball into the far corner – 3:1. Tulyaks snapped a five-time dry streak, but scored to some ridiculous extent.

After the break in the actions of the Akron players, there was more nervousness, but that did not stop the team from maintaining the winning score. In addition, in the end the hosts scored the fourth goal. Substitute Vladimir Azarov hit a teammate (Ruslan Apekov), from whom the ball flew into the goal — 4:1.
And then another football player who appeared on the field during the game put the real beauty. Andreas Ponce delivered a brilliant strike from outside the penalty area. The ball in a beautiful trajectory flew over the goalkeeper’s neck – 5:1. Spectacular end of game!
