A historic success for Ural and his head coach!
The feeling that CSKA and Ural play all the time. The new match is the fourth meeting since the beginning of 2023. And the seventh since July 16 of last year! The Moscow team almost always won – four times. Two more games ended in a draw (but in one case, Yekaterinburg won on penalties).
Ural’s head coach Viktor Goncharenko has a separate history of confrontation with the former club – seven defeats in nine meetings. And, as he will understand, not a single success in regular time. But any series ends sooner or later. In the first round, there were too many prerequisites for this.
CSKA’s main problem at the start of the season is not even Medina’s departure to Spartak, but injuries. Oblyakov, Agapov, Carrascal are being treated. In the match for the Super Cup, Diveev flew. And when, in the 30th minute of the match with Ural, Rosha sat down on the grass, he became very sad for the team. Minus two main centerdefs: just a nightmare. Instead, an Academy graduate, Mikhail Ryadno, had to be released into the camp. The boy is only 17 years old. But there was no way out, there were simply no players left for the position.

At that time, CSKA was already losing 0:1. At first, neither team really stood out. Except for the Muscovites who have more possession of the ball. But there are no special moments. For the first time the danger arose in the 18th minute, when the guests had a quick attack. Moises flew up the flank and fired at Chalov, famously shot, but Pomazun retreated. And right after that, Ural scored. And very pretty. Submission from the corner, Akinfeev missed, and the ball fell smoothly on Ayupov. Tom just had to drag him through the door. Initially, it seemed that it was generally a “dry leaf”. But no, the newcomer to the team scored in the first official match. And on the eve of the 30th anniversary.
10 minutes later, when Roshi was no longer on the field, Ayupov could have scored the second: Yushin had a good shot and Timur had a good shot on the edge, but the ball flew over the crossbar. Ural looked really good in the second part of the half. The only moment for CSKA is a blow away from Zabolotny. Anton opened well for the pass, flew to Pomazun, but headed the ball to nothing in the goal.

The start of the second half is a new nightmare for CSKA. Mukhin in the fight against the newcomer “Ural” Kiki played with his hand. In my own penalty area. The referee did not pay attention to the episode, but the video assistants turned on. Amelin walked over to the monitor and no doubt pointed to the ‘dot’. Mishkic fired down the middle, while Akinfeev flew into the corner. 2:0 for minute 54. Great claim to win.
But CSKA still joined the game. And Zabolotny rehabilitated himself for a strange moment in the first half. In the 62nd minute, Anton successfully received the ball after Kiki’s fight with Nababkin and drove it into the goal from five meters.
Further replacements and expectations that the Muscovites will still be able to arrange a large number. But no one expected this. Not a single moment of danger in the last 25 minutes of the game. “Ural” defended well, while the guests looked completely shapeless in attack. So defeat is absolutely natural.
And how was the opening game of the season yesterday:
Krasnodar scored against Dynamo three times in 25 minutes! With such a defense, Lichka will not last long.
Interestingly, in the championship, CSKA lost to Ural for the last time in 1995! Thus ended the long streak. Not only for the team, but also for the coach. They now have a victory in regulation time over his former club.
