Krasnodar defeated CSKA in the 14th round of the RPL: did the crisis of the southerners come to an end
Krasnodar continues its successful series in matches against Moscow CSKA in its field. So, in the game of the 14th round of the championship of the Russian Premier League (RPL), Krasnodar not only won, he defeated his rivals from Moscow – 4: 2. Two goals scored by John Cordoba, which allowed the southerners to more confidently hold on in the top five of the championship. It turns out that in the last two official matches, Krasnodar scores CSKA for four years.

On the eve of the meeting, the Match TV channel decided to talk to both coaches, calling each for an interview. Both very complimentary spoke about each other, and the mentor of CSKA Dmitry Igdisamov gave us another intrigue. It turns out that Igdisamova and Murad Musayeva have in common the fact that they came from children's and youth football. You can find a whole layer of coaches, and not necessarily only in the top division, who started with children's and youth football, getting to adult football. Igdisamov noted that Musayev became the first of this cohort of coaches who managed not only to work in the RPL, but also to find success there. That is, Igdisamov noted that without Musayev, he as a coach would hardly have taken place.
In the game, a lot depended on who would provide the connection between the lines and deliver the ball to the offense. Not yet came the 20th minute, as the defender of the bulls Sergey Petrov delivered the ball to the right flank, almost to the penalty area Christiana, who issued a prostration that finished John Cordoba. Putting his finger to his lips, the Colombian seemed to calm down all the haters, who in the last month he had greatly increased.
It is funny that Dmitry Vorobyov played to some extent the role of Eduard Spertsyan, delivering the ball for the draw of the acute moment. Spertsyan himself, who is now a player for Saudi al-Ahli, sat in the stands of the Krasnodar stadium.
However, the time passed with a slight touch of CSKA advantages. The army often slowed down the attack of Krasnodar in the early stages, rather quickly moving to the half of the field of opponents. Cordoba's goal was more the result of a counterattack than a positional attack. CSKA realized their advantage 20 minutes after Cordoba's goal. Having reacted to the situation in time after the repelled blow to Lucian Gonda, Matvey Kislyak was the first to finish off, shooting a grid of defenseless gates.
However, the half ended with a stupid mistake of the defense of CSKA, when Joao Victor took the ball out of nowhere. But about the point of landing of the ball knew the forward of southerners Joao Batchi, who scored in an empty goal, because Maxim Borisko was not there.
The second half began with a bulk from CSKA, but by the 70th minute there was an impression that the army simply exhausted, and Krasnodar began to work. Cordoba was certainly the most active, and in many ways the third goal belongs to him, although Daniel Utkin, who came out immediately after the break, deserved to be the author of this ball. First, he dropped Cordoba, and then played on the finishing, sending the ball to the goalkeeper of the “red-blue” between his legs. Krasnodar scored their last goal to the already demoralized CSKA, whose defense missed Cordoba, so that he hit his head after a perfect canopy on the center of the goalkeeper.
After the match, in an express interview, Utkin admitted that the situation put pressure on the team. “I think this victory will liberate us. Both teams had chances and we took our chances. We were more in control of the ball, less safe, playing forward. In the second half came out and added, so it turned out to press the end, said Utkin.
The final score of 4-2 tells us that the crisis in Krasnodar seems to be over. Cordoba, who promised to fight for the coach, did everything he said. Musayev is unlikely to be fired after the game, although rumors circulated that the defeat is a direct ticket to leave the team. Everything seems good, but tell me it was when the team was losing to the outsiders, not winning since August. The result of the game with CSKA is just a pair release, or will Krasnodar again be as aggressive and interesting? Have final replacements been found for Eduard Spertsyan and Nikita Krivtsov? The match left the same questions, but something was answered. Internal conflict in the team seems to have been avoided.
