“Alania” again ran to the RPL, and Berdyev almost shed a tear, the main thing in the 7th round.
Melbet – The First League continues. The seventh round was marked by another miss from Akron and jerks from Rodina and Alania. The latter suddenly rose to the front line for many.
Tour event – the fall of Akron / Tyumen – the second
Four days in a row, Akron had no rival in the First League. But then there were SKA-Khabarovsk (0-1), Leningradets (1-1) and in the last round the home game against Tyumen.
It seems that the Togliatti team cannot avoid the dismissal of coach Yevgeny Kaleshin in the Khabarovsk match.
The match between SKA-Khabarovsk and Akron ended in an arbitration scandal:
Judicial scandal in the First League! Kaleshin was ejected, and Akron lost for the first time. Video
The specialist is now back at work, but Akron, which was considered a contender for a First League win and automatic promotion, is still not feeling well. We opened the scoring with Tyumen already in the sixth minute, and then we lost in the 71st minute and 90+2 (in the latter case, Anton Sinyak was the first to rebound).

Tyumen, thanks to the victory over Akron, rose to second place in the standings. Above – just “Alania”.
Akron, by the way, during the match had a chance to double the advantage, but look how the team received a penalty at the beginning of the second half and how it all ended.

Touring team – “Alania”
The Vladikavkaz team, which failed to qualify for the play-offs last season due to problems with the stadium, once again aspires to the RPL. There is no certainty that the Alania stadium will be ready in a year, but in terms of the game, Oleg Vasilenko’s guys are doing well. On the seventh day they beat one of the outsiders of the league, the Kuban, at home.
The match was not too eventful and Islam Mashukov’s goal in the 11th minute was enough for Alania to win.

Tour target: Alexander Lomakin (Yenisei)
Enisey, having lost too many points in the initial rounds, slowly begins to gain momentum. In the seventh match of the First League, the Krasnoyarsk team confidently met SKA-Khabarovsk.
The decoration of the match is a goal from a free kick by Alexander Lomakin already in the fourth minute.

Berdyev’s sadness
An event that is hard to fit into one of the traditional headings of the tour review, but we couldn’t miss it either. Just look at how emotionally Kurban Berdyev reacted when asked about Makhachkala Dynamo’s missed goal in the home game against Shinnik.

Kurban Bekievich’s emotions are understandable: a victory could take his team to the top of the championship. In fact, Dinamo is still in 12th place and is in no rush to live up to the expectations attached to the arrival of the two-time Russian champions.
Tour Phrase – Konstantin Zyryanov (“Falcon”)
Let’s start with the most pleasant thing for Novorossiysk fans: their team remains the only one in the league without losing. On Monday, August 28, the Chernomorets played KAMAZ at home and achieved the sixth (!) draw in seven rounds.
The main episode of the match took place afterwards, when Konstantin Zyryanov, addressing the fans, compared the expectation of victory with ketchup.

Other matches of matchday 7 of the First League
Nizhnekamsk, which before the start of the season was considered one of the contenders in the fight for access to the RPL, continues to disappoint. Kirill Novikov’s team lost the third match in a row, this time against Rodina, who got their first win since the first round.
Sokol was able to jump to the first place, but for the first time in the season he lost at home, against Leningradets, by the minimum score.
The Astrakhan team, which after five games has not added a single point, tied for the second time in a row. The coach’s shakeup worked: Volgar is still last, but now Kuban and Neftekhimik are only two points behind.
This match completed the program for the seventh round. Both teams started the season below their abilities and are more or less equal in class, so a draw in a head-to-head match is not surprising. The best thing that happened in Tula was the great goal from Irakli Manelov. Take, enjoy.

Saturday September 2 Volgar – Sokol Alania – Enisey Khimki – Kuban
sunday september 3 SKA-Khabarovsk – Dynamo Makhachkala Shinnik – Neftekhimik Akron – Chernomorets KAMAZ – Leningradets
