Luck has chosen the hosts…

FDC «Vista» opened the second part of the season in the Higher League of the Krasnodar Region Championship with a away derby against «Spartak» Gelendzhik. Recall that the first round match between the rivals ended in a zero draw and our team on the eve of today's match was determined to show in the return game who is currently the strongest team of the resort city.

From the first minutes of the meeting, the boys of Patrick Papyan got down to business and could open the account in the first attack, but the hosts were lucky and zeros remained on the scoreboard. At the 4th minute, the referee of the match Vitaly Moldovan awarded a penalty to the home team, but after a consultation with his first assistant, he canceled the decision and showed that it was necessary to punch a free kick.

Before the break, our guys had to score at least four goals, but luck, as it turned out, was on the side of «Spartak» that day. This fact was confirmed in the second half, when at the beginning of it the players of Spartak received a royal gift from our defense and very unexpectedly opened the score. However, after a few minutes, the balance was restored: after a violation in the penalty area, Jonathan Okoronkwo converted a penalty.

There were about thirty minutes left to play before the final whistle. And during this time, FDC "Vista" created a dozen scoring chances, but our guys did not manage to persuade luck to go to their side.

As a result, the second official Gelendzhik derby again ended in a draw — 1:1.
