We finish the fight with «Chernomorets» with a defeat – 2:4

We played today against the newcomer of the First League – «Chernomorets» (Novorossiysk). We started the game very well and by the 22nd minute we were leading by two goals.

First, Baba N'Diaye took advantage of Magomed Abakarov's marriage in receiving the ball, went one–on-one with the goalkeeper and left no chance for him – 1:0. Five minutes later, Success Ukaki brought Usman Ajibona to the operational space in front of Daniil Frolkin's goal with an accurate pass, and our forward showed himself in the best way, sending the ball past the goalkeeper on target Novorossiysk goal – 2:0.

Even before the break, the home team managed not only to win back, but also to go ahead – 2:3. Artem Delkin, Vladislav Adaev and Alexey Grechkin scored goals for themselves.

In the second half, the audience saw only one goal scored, and even that from the penalty spot. Vladislav Kirilenko realized the shot from the point.

If we take into account the fact that «Vista» has already played the ninth match in the last 16 days, we can only admire the dedication of our guys.

The statistics of the game say that «Vista» surpassed today's opponent in creating dangerous moments, shots on goal, but in the end, we lacked a little luck. Somewhere the defense of «Chernomorets» played reliably, and somewhere the frame of the gate played for the opponent.

Ahead of the match against PFC «Sochi». Today we played against a representative of the First League, now we are preparing for a game against a Premier League team.
