The 13th round of the championship of the Russian football Premier League lasted for several days, to which domestic fans are almost used to. He finished on Monday, which accounted for only one match, but what! If someone had predicted before the start of the season that Spartak from Nalchik would head the standings almost at the equator of the championship, they would not even believe in Kabardino-Balkaria. But the fact is a fact, and the leadership of the team of Yuri Krasnozhan (albeit almost certainly temporary) will have to get used to.The previous results of the round (draws and defeats of the pursuers) even before the match with “Rostov” guaranteed that Nalchik would keep the top position in the table. But after all he had such a tempting opportunity to increase the gap by points! And when you consider that the Rostovites on their field almost always look quite militant, the meeting promised to be interesting.
The hosts really started more actively. They even tried to push the residents of the gates to the gates, but acted too fussy, nervous. Apparently, the leadership status of the guests affected.
Nalchik sluggishly fought back: it was noticeable that the Spartacists let the Rostovites let off steam. Then the game began to level off, and in the 18th minute, “Rostov" was already in the losing position. After a canopy of Pilipchuk into the penalty area, Poroshin sent the ball into the net of Chichkin's goal.
True, the guests were in the account no more than ten minutes. Active in recent matches, Spartak Gogniev, after a solo pass, issued a pass to the captain of his team, Mikhail Osinov, who had no difficulty restoring parity.
The score 1: 1 lasted on the scoreboard of the Rostov stadium until the end of the first half and for six minutes of the second. And then Osinov corrected him again (this time with the assistance of Buznikin, who replaced him).
With this score - 2: 1 - the match ended. The leader of the championship was defeated in Rostov.
