Two matches – two wins

Today, 1 February, «Vista» in a friendly match played against «Khimik» from Dzerzhinsk. The match took place on the field of the «Gigant» sports complex in the city of Krymsk. 

From the first minutes, «Vista» demonstrated dynamic and attacking football. The opponent understood that a week earlier, «Vista» beat one of the leaders of the FNL-2 «Chayka», so he played a little cautiously.

From this, in the first half hour of the match, dangerous moments could be counted on the fingers of one hand. But before the break, our team still had several opportunities to open an account. Usman Ajibona twice entered the operational space in front of the «Khimik» goal, outplayed the goalkeeper twice, but in the end our striker was unlucky.

At first, Ajibona threw Migunov, but the post played for the opponent, and literally a couple of minutes later Usman decided to throw the ball to himself, beat the goalkeeper, shot, but the angle for hitting the goal was very sharp and the score on the scoreboard did not change – 0:0. For the first 45 minutes, the spectators did not see any goals, and the teams went to rest for a break. 

In the second half, «Khimik» completely changed its roster, and our coaching staff made only point substitutions. «Vista» continued to play the first number, but more recent Dzerzhinsk tried to intercept the initiative with varying success. In general, after the break, we saw a similar picture as in the first half of the meeting, but only under heavy rain. Weather in Krymsk did not please, but «Vista» pleased the audience with a scored ball.

In the 70th minute, Matthew Tejiri Gbomadu, playing ahead of the curve, intercepted the ball in the opponent's half of the field, beat the defender at speed, burst into the «Khimik» penalty area and sightedly shot down along the goal at Ajibona, who freely sent the ball into the goal net – 1:0. 

After a missed goal, «Khimik» failed to turn the tide of the meeting and the remaining 20 minutes passed under the control of «Vista». In general, the match was not easy, the opponent fouled more often, as evidenced by the statistics of the game and three yellow cards shown to the «Khimik» players. «Vista» wins the second consecutive victory over the representatives of the Second League (FNL-2).

And although our team won both matches with a minimal advantage in the score, both of these meetings were held under the control of the players in red and white uniforms. 

After the match, Christian Nwachukwu rightly noted that «Khimik» is a good uncompromising team, but the integrity of the game «Vista» allowed to control the course of the meeting and, despite the unpleasant weather conditions, to achieve the desired result. 

Ahead of «Vista» is waiting for the match against the Volgograd «Rotor», which will be held on February 7 in Krymsk on the field of the sports complex «Gigant».
