Athletistic/Football. Former footballer Alexander Bubnov shared his impressions of the match in the 4th round of the Russian championship between the Urals and Spartak (3-2).

“In recent years, the Urals have always proved to be a worthy opponent for Spartak. Moreover, Goncharenko’s team now has a good streak, so you can’t even call the result sensational. Considering the development of the game, a draw for red and white would be a good result, they controlled the ball, but lost chances to score.

“Spartacus” did not look the best, and “Ural” – well done! They didn’t break after a missed penalty and performed a miracle in the second half, scoring twice against an opponent who usually plays hard in the end.

To a large extent, the success of the “Urals” depended on a competent defense. They blocked off areas along the edges of the pitch, creating compactness. Goncharenko understood that Spartak had fast midfielders and tried to limit their maneuverability. As a result, “Spartacus” almost could not create quick counterattacks. When “Ural” lost the ball, he quickly returned, creating a scene of nine players.

As a result, Spartak’s field players dropped out of the game. Medina and Zobnin proved to be very weak. Martins in the episode with the first goal violated tactical positions and his game failed. Abaskal’s substitutions didn’t have a positive effect either. In the “Urals” everything worked the other way around.

We can say that for “Spartacus” everything ended tragically. Even Svinov, who saved the team the whole game, slipped up. Guilty in the third goal of “Ural”. Why did he run to Litvinov? He only confused him! Bikfalvi, on the contrary, handled the situation perfectly: after all, you even had to enter the door from there!

If the game had ended in a draw, it looked like the Urals had lost points. Goncharenko has a great balanced team. It will be interesting to follow their performance further. And for “Spartacus” everything becomes more complicated. Before the meeting with “Zenith”, the difference between them can be only 2 points.

Nevertheless, for the red-whites, each match turns into a real drama. Yes, Spartak fans may need validol to watch such fights, they certainly do not get bored. It’s really exciting”, — quotes the words of Bubnov Sportbox.
