In the second match of the week in Zhigulevsk, Yevgeny Kaleshin’s wards confidently dealt with Veles Moscow.

Akron has a long unbeaten streak, but at home within the framework of the MELBET First League this season, they have not yet surprisingly won. Our team could not complete the program of the first round without a victory at Kristall and won the second major victory in Zhigulevsk on the allotment. In the second minute, the “red-blacks” have already shown who are the hosts: Vladimir Marukhin pierced the ball into the goal on the rebound after Karim Giraev’s shot. At the starting segment of the match, the Togliatti team created a number of sharp moments in Kuznetsov’s possessions, but only the episode in the 24th minute ended with the second goal. Maksim Paliyenko eliminated Veles captain Yevgeny Makeev with one move and, not without the help of a rebound from other defenders, parachuted the ball over the goalkeeper – 2:0.

According to statistics, Akron did not succeed in the second half in home matches. But this time, this gap has been eliminated. The team did not rush headlong into the attack, but did not stay too long in their half of the field. “Winged Bulls” did not particularly annoy our defense, and “Akron” had a chance to increase the advantage in the long run through the efforts of the same Palienko and Giraev. Veles could revive the intrigue if Gevork Sargsyan won the duel against Sergey Volkov in the 71st minute, but our goalkeeper averted the threat to the applause of the public. The rival did not set unsolvable tasks for Akron, but Vladimir Azarov, who came out after a pass from Konstantin Savichev, forced the Muscovites to take the ball out of their own net for the third time in the 86th minute: a gorgeous touch on the touch broke the cobweb in the far top nine!

“I am very happy with the victory and the fact that I managed to score. My wife is pregnant and expecting our second child. Dedicated the win to them. The team scored three points. I hope that we will continue to move at the same pace in order to be in the standings as high as possible before the holidays,” said FC Akron midfielder Vladimir Azarov after the match.
