Athletistic / Football. Former coach of Fakel Voronezh Valery Nenenko told how the “flammables” managed to achieve a historic victory over Spartak Moscow in 2000. This meeting ended in a victory for the Voronezh team with a score of 1 :0.
“I was worried about the result, because before the match we lost two main defenders – Gorbachev and Rastegaev. Then I had to put Vlasov in defense almost for the first time and make a knightly move. Against Tikhonov, I I sent the young Cherkes. He played as a right midfielder against the left midfielder. And in the end he took care of Andrey, which influenced the final result. Then quite early, at the 27th minute, Shukanov scored.
“Spartak” attacked dangerously in the second half, the red and white had several chances that Shirko did not convert. Romantsev was so upset that Grozny came to the press conference. I then declared in the heat of the moment that Shirko did not score not only against Fakel, but also against many other teams. It was memorable,” Nenenko was quoted as saying by “Championship”.
Since 2000, Fakel has never beaten Spartak. Today, October 28, the Voronezh club will host the red and white in the match of the 13th round of the RPL 2023/2024 season.
Sergei Tashuev’s team has 12 points after 12 rounds and is in 13th place in the RPL standings. Spartak is in fifth place with 20 points.
