Maxim Glushenkov (Zenit)
I wonder which club will be the first to stop this car. Now there is no other way to call Maxim. Glushenkov scores in every match, despite all the efforts of his opponents. The match against Dynamo (1-0) turned out to be very difficult, but Maxim again decided. In the last round, the Russian assisted Pedro and now the Zenit players swapped roles. Glushenkov has already scored seven goals in the RPL – half of all blue-white-blue goals in the tournament. Maxim not only struck four blows (the best result in the match), but also won three duels (one of the best results). In addition, he received four fouls.

Evgeniy Latyshonok (Zenit)
One of the intrigues of the first part of the season: who will be the first to break through Zenit’s new goalkeeper in the RPL. Latyshonok has already scored four goals, and Zenit still has 0 in the “missed goals” column. This time Evgeniy did everything possible to prevent his team from losing points. He left Mumi Ngamalyo without a goal – he saved the African’s shot from 11 meters. During the entire match, Dynamo made four shots on goal, and the blue-and-white’s expected goals ratio was 1.53. But Latyshonok again extended his streak without conceding a goal.

Alexei Batrakov (Lokomotiv)
The 19-year-old Loko midfielder is one of the discoveries of the start of the season in the RPL. Batrakov has already delighted many with his radio-controlled transmissions from standards. Last weekend, Alexey’s cross from the corner flag found the head of Evgeniy Morozov, who scored the second goal against Dynamo Makhachkala (2-0). Batrakov already has six effective actions based on the results of four RPL matches: two goals and four assists. How do you like this? In the last round, Batrakov became the leader of Loko in created moments (3), passes to the final third of the field (14) and crosses (7).

Danil Glebov (Rostov)
Rostov’s captain had a very decent game against Rubin (1-1). He scored first. And he did it in a way that few expected from him. Glebov completed a nice combination with a header. According to Opta’s data, Danil had never hit like that before. The first attempt was effective. Glebov was very focused on the opponent’s goal: he made four shots (the best result together with Ronaldo). In addition, the Rostov captain completed two successful dribbles, won two duels and completed 14 accurate passes into the final third of the field. At times it seemed that Glebov had time everywhere. Solid performance from the Rostov midfielder.

Fernando Costanza (“Wings of the Soviets”)
The Brazilian came on brilliantly as a substitute in the match against Fakel (2-0). First he listened to everything that the formidable Irakli Kvekveskiri thought about him. And a few seconds later he headed the ball into the net and celebrated with emotion in the stands with the Samara fans. Even at the cost of a yellow card. Costanza gave us one of the highlights of the tour and the team its first victory of the season. The “Wings” moved away from the bottom of the table, so the team’s fans can breathe a sigh of relief.

Nikita Medvedev (“Paris NN”)
The Nizhny Novgorod club started the new season so badly that many people were ignoring it. Not only did Paris NN lose three out of three matches (including the Russian Cup), but they also conceded a total of 11 goals. But after that everything changed. Sasa Ilic’s team managed to win two clean sheets and moved up to the top half of the table. Khimki played with 1.09 expected goals, but Medvedev kept a clean sheet for the second time in a row. In several episodes, Nikita openly saved the team. In the next round, Paris NN will go to Krasnodar. Will it be possible to extend the clean sheet?

Arsen Adamov (“Akhmat”)
The Grozny club came to its senses after a painful defeat in the last round. Then “Akhmat” missed the top five at home to “Lokomotiv”, and now they “dry up” the attack of “Spartak”. By the way, the Grozny club has not missed a match at the red-and-white stadium for three matches in a row. One of the main heroes of the match was Akhmat defender Arsen Adamov, whose rights belong to Zenit. Spartak created the most dangerous moment at the end, but the Akhmat defender saved Willian Jose’s shot with his face. The importance of this rescue is also underlined by the emotional reaction of Arsen himself.

Vitor Tormena (Krasnodar)
The Brazilian was not in the Bulls’ starting lineup for the match against CSKA (2-1): coach Murad Musaev opted for Kayo. But Tormenet had to intervene in the match in the first half because his compatriot was injured after landing badly. It was Vitor who became the main hero of the match: his header after a set piece gave Krasnodar their first win of the season. Tormena also won two martial arts on horseback. And in general, CSKA’s attack felt very uncomfortable in the south of Russia. The army team only made six shots and the expected goal rate was 0.86.

Himmi Marin (Orenburg)
The Costa Rican footballer did not score in the match against Akron (2:2), despite having made three shots (one on target). On the other hand, Marin scored one assist (his first assist of the season). In addition, Himmi actively carried the ball from the flanks – seven attempts at crossing. Orenburg had a successful start to the season – they beat Spartak at home with a score of 2:0. But after that, the team went on a four-match winless streak in all competitions.

Alexander Ektov (“Paris NN”)
The winger fits perfectly into the new team. Paris NN rented the red-haired footballer a couple of days before the match against Khimki (1-0) and then put him in the starting eleven. Ektov was very active and became the author of the assist. It was his throw to Ognjen Ozegovic that led to the striker facing the goalkeeper. In addition, Alexander was good at martial arts – he won four out of four. It seems that the transfer of such a footballer benefited the Nizhny Novgorod club.
