CSKA drowned in the “Puddle”. RPL, 10th round, Luzhniki, Torpedo 1:0 CSKA.

This is how the fans call the Luzhniki stadium, where Torpedo returned, and where the main sensation of the tour happened. RPL. 10th round. “Luzhniki”. Torpedo 1:0 CSKA. Goal: Shapic – 33′.

On Saturday, there were two matches in the capital, in which fans and specialists were waiting for the victories of CSKA and Dynamo, so that the intrigue of the championship would not finally die after a third of the distance traveled. But both clubs lost, and now all eyes are on Rostov, which “gnawed out” the victory from the “Wings” and did not allow Zenit to go into a six-point lead.

Eight thousand fans in Luzhniki, a “home” for the Torpedo team, the first victory of the car factory in the championship and the main sensation of the third way of the tournament, the game of millions – these are the results of the derby on the main arena of the country.

CSKA took the ball and the initiative in a businesslike manner from the first minutes, but the army team could not create anything intelligible at the gate of Yegor Baburin. The only dangerous moment (before scoring Akinfeev) for two teams is Baktiyor Zainutdinov’s kick from a lethal position, a little past the torpedo gates.

“Torpedo” initially came out to play the second number. Wards Fedotov squandered moments, of which there were few, as if they were sure they would score. But, neither Moises’ kick from the right, nor finishing off Milan Gayich (the ball flew far into the stands) brought either joy or results to CSKA.

But Torpedo used their only chance in the first half. In the 33rd minute, David Karaev earned a free-kick on the go-ahead from Moizes. Canopy in the goalkeeper’s army, “viewing” football Diveev and Stefan Shapic from a couple of meters sends the ball into the net Akinfeev.

Moises tried to rehabilitate himself for the “bring”: first he shot dangerously, and then checked the strength of the torpedo crossbar from a free kick. But all to no avail.

In the second half, CSKA really started running, attacking actions began to turn out, the torpedo players were practically pressed to their gates. That’s just the score on the scoreboard did not change. First, instead of hitting on goal, Smolov played for a partner for some reason – the moment was lost. Then Fedor struck a couple of minutes later, but the ball treacherously landed on Baburin’s goal post.

Avtozavodtsy also had their chance in the second half. In the 66th minute, for the million first time, did everyone see who is the best goalkeeper in this country? Igor Diveev got tangled in his own legs and the ball, after which Igor Lebedenko went out on his own. But there is also Igor Akinfeev. He again “unfastened” his leg and once again saved his team.

The substitutions made by Fedotov did not strengthen the game, the army team could not print the torpedo gates. The final bulk of CSKA remained only “bulk”, and Ilya Kutepov and Artem Samsonov distinguished themselves in the end for the car manufacturers. They literally “burned” all the efforts of CSKA, bringing their team to victory in the first “home” match of the season.

To the question of the correspondent of our publication, what was the setting for the game, CSKA head coach Vladimir Fedotov answered this way: “The setting was to use the zones between the lines, they planned to give passes to the defensive line. We did not deliver the ball there, we disposed of it poorly, not using the second pace. The responsibility is one hundred percent on me. This is the second (after Dmitry Pyatibratov) case in two days when the coach takes responsibility for the team’s mediocre game.

I had two questions for Nikolai Savichev, the coach of the car factory workers.

— Were you surprised by such mediocre game of CSKA in the first half?

– To be honest, on the sidelines, the thought slipped through that they might not tune in, that there might be imposingness. We prepared very seriously for today’s match.

— Have you already spoken with Igor Lebedenko about the moment with the exit one on one?

– As for Igor, give him ten more such chances, he will score nine such chances. Tension… Maybe he was tired. The forces are immeasurable. Experienced players inspire, help and organize the young ones.

There is a break in the championship – the 11th round is only at the beginning of October, so Torpedo will have time to “adjust” the attacking game, and CSKA will have time to eliminate the imposing style of “academicians with canes”.
