Neftekhimik vs Ufa

Ufa left Nizhnekamsk with all three points after edging Neftekhimik 1-0 in a tightly contested FNL clash. The game stayed goalless for the opening exchanges before the visitors found the breakthrough right on the stroke of halftime, a moment that proved decisive on a night when clear-cut chances were hard to come by. The only goal came from Migran Ageyan, who struck in the 43rd minute to put Ufa in front. The hosts pushed for a response after the break but couldn't force an equalizer, despite several second-half substitutions from both benches. Referee Danila Tsurkov brandished yellow cards to Neftekhimik's Nikita Pechenkin and Linar Sharifullin in the first half, with further bookings for both sides later in the match, though no player was sent off. The result snaps Neftekhimik's momentum after their away win over Rotor, leaving them still searching for consistency on home soil. For Ufa, the narrow win continues a solid run and lifts them further up the table as they push for a place among the division's top sides.
