Our team beat Alania at home and will now play in the quarterfinals of the Path of Regions.

At stake in the third match of Akron in the current FONBET Cup of Russia was reaching the playoffs of the Path of Regions = a game with the RPL club. In the 6th qualifying round, one of the leaders of the First League came to Zhigulevsk – Vladikavkaz “Alania”, which, after a series of failures in the regular championship, decided to save some of the leaders. Akron also played with a mixed line-up, but closer to the main one, fielding six players from the first minutes who started the game of the 18th round in Yaroslavl from the first minutes.

The hosts, who had already achieved a historic achievement in the tournament, having reached the 1/8 final stage, wanted more and by their actions showed a great desire to move into the “cup spring”. A large number of approaches in the first half, scoring chances for Konstantin Bazelyuk, Vladimir Azarov and Maxim Palienko, unfortunately, the numbers on the scoreboard did not change before the break. With a tangible advantage of our team, the second half also passed, but despite the complete dominance, the nerve of the game was felt. He took off his goal by Dmitry Sasin in the 55th minute, who opened the scoring in the match and his goals for Akron.

The Red-Blacks did everything to resolve the issue with the winner in advance, but the Leopards goalkeeper Georgy Natabashvili kept the guests in the game to the last. Alania was close to a goal only in stoppage time, but Sergey Volkov got the ball from under the crossbar and sent Akron to the quarterfinals of the Way of the Regions. The match ended with festive fireworks – at the beginning of next year, Akron will host a team from the elite on its field!
