Ural vs KAMAZ

Ural made home advantage count in round 10 of the FNL, seeing off basement dwellers Kamaz 2-0 in Yekaterinburg. The real drama, though, came before the opening goal, when the hosts were awarded a penalty they couldn't convert. In the 25th minute, midfielder Fanil Sungatulin stepped up from the spot but failed to beat the Kamaz goalkeeper, leaving the door open for the visitors. It didn't matter for long: striker Denis Bokov made amends by breaking the deadlock in the 32nd minute, and Martin Sekulic put the result beyond doubt with a second in the 84th, capping a dominant display built on plenty of possession and chances at both ends. The win lifts Ural up to fifth place on 18 points, keeping them firmly in the promotion conversation. For Kamaz, it's another damaging defeat that leaves them anchored in 17th place with just five points, with the gap to safety growing more concerning by the week.
