Yenisey vs Chelyabinsk

Yenisey cruised to a commanding 3-0 home victory over Chelyabinsk in Round 29 of the FNL, with the match effectively settled inside the opening half-hour at Krasnoyarsk. Andrey Okladnikov got the hosts rolling on 18 minutes, and Andrey Mazurin swiftly doubled the lead eight minutes later to put Yenisey firmly in control. Chelyabinsk offered little in response, with Denis Samoilov collecting a yellow card (39') to reflect their growing frustration. Egor Ivanov rounded off the scoring on 72 minutes — remarkably just a minute after being booked himself. The bookings mounted throughout: Amir Batyrev (7'), Nikita Shershov (17'), and Alexander Nadolsky (80') were also cautioned for the winners, while Alexey Berdnikov saw yellow late for the visitors. The win has real table implications. Yenisey climb to 40 points and leapfrog Chelyabinsk, who have now gone seven matches without a win — a run that is beginning to seriously dent their mid-table ambitions.
