The match between the third and thirteenth teams of MELBET-First League ended in a goalless world.

Home November has in store a match with the ex-representative of the RPL, who pursues a group of leaders and sets the task of returning to the elite. Akron, which lost only in Yaroslavl this autumn, did not promise an easy walk for the Tula. True, the match began with the pressure of the guests. Already in the first minute, Kamran Aliyev shook the post, and in the first twenty minutes Sergey Volkov made several super saves. By the middle of the half, the hosts pushed the game away from their goal and began to answer: a large number of crosses from Savichev and Azarov from the right flank could not be closed, but the desire to continue their starting whirlwind at Arsenal disappeared.

In the second half, the dispositions of the teams did not change much: the rivals took turns making raids to each other’s goal, but most of the time the ball was in the middle of the field – in a positional game. Perhaps the key moments of the match could only be the approaches of Akron: a dangerous free kick by Konstantin Bazelyuk, a pass on the left flank by Pavel Shakuro with a finishing blow and Karim Giraev’s head-to-head with Mikhail Levashov in the last minutes. As a result – “zeros” on the scoreboard and the sixth match in a row without conceded goals at the “Crystal”.
