This season, Paris NN has not lost at home for more than six months; Among the guests, only Zenit won there.
The opening match of the Sunday program on the 19th was held in Nizhny Novgorod. The teams of two Sergeys met there: Yuran and Tashuev.
Based on the statistics, one could assume that the game would not be productive. Both Paris NN and Fakel scored 15 goals. Only Sochi has a worse result (12 goals). In addition, the Nizhny Novgorod club conceded 16 goals, the Voronezh club – 19. This is better than most RPL teams, including Dynamo, Spartak, Lokomotiv and CSKA.

Juran released several newcomers to the starting lineup. Nikita Ermakov, Konstantin Kuchaev and Konstantin Maradishvili appeared at the base. Tashuev, in turn, entrusted the place in the center of defense to legionnaire Ryan Senadzhi, and Roman Akbashev, who returned to Fakel, formed an attacking duo with Khyzyr Appaev. By the way, Paris NN left Nikolai Kalinsky in reserve and the guests kept their top scorer, Evgeniy Markov.
At the end of the first half, Paris NN had the ball 62% of the playing time. What was the result of the half? 1:0 in favor of Fakel. As often happens in these games, standards come to the rescue. Pari NN goalkeeper Artur Nigmatullin saved Senaji’s poor shot, but Vyacheslav Yakimov was the first to finish. The Fakel midfielder scored the fourth goal in this RPL tie, three of them away from home. And the guests did not hit the target again until half-time.

Here are some stats again. Before this match, Paris NN had only lost four goals at home, two of them on the first day against Zenit. The last time Nizhny Novgorod was defeated in its stadium was in September 2023, then Orenburg did. And now I missed Pari NN again, and even in front of Oleg Romantsev. In December 2023, the legendary coach took over as advisor to the general director of Paris NN and watched the match with Fakel from the stands.

In the last minutes of the first half, Oleg Ivanovich was able to rejoice with a masterpiece. Juan Boscelli threw a “parachute” to Alexander Belenov, but the goalkeeper stopped the ball on the “tape”. And the South American performed a difficult technical trick: he shot from outside the area. If the ball had gone into the net, it would have been a masterpiece goal. And so, just one of the highlights of the quiet first half of the game.
It took the locals 19 minutes after the break to come back. And how did they do it? That’s right, according to the standard. Dmitry Tikhy won the equestrian duel and Konstantin Kuchaev may have provided the funniest assist of his career. The former CSKA player missed the ball and it bounced towards Kirill Gotsuk; The captain did not forgive his rival. By the way, this is the defender’s first goal this season. He has scored three times in the past.

In the final minutes, Nikita Kakkoev caused a small brawl on the field. He tripped Markov, which Nikita Motpan didn’t like. The players pushed each other, there was no fight, and referee Vladislav Bezborodov showed Nikita a yellow card each. The spectators did not see any more goals, although in the final seconds Kakkoev headed a header from a meter straight at the goalkeeper.
Paris NN extended their unbeaten streak at home in the RPL. He has already played nine games; This season only Zenit has won in Nizhny. It is curious that so far all the matches of the 19th round of the RPL have been “low”: in none of them more than two goals were scored.
