Torpedo futsal players will play the return match of the 1/4 finals of the Russian Cup

Futsal players from Nizhny Novgorod “Torpedo” continue to advance along the tournament distance of the Russian Cup. As part of the 1/8 finals of the Russian Cup, Nizhny Novgorod “Torpedo” met with LKS from Lipetsk and was able to defeat the debutant of the Super League, securing a ticket to the quarterfinals. The Torpedo futsal players had to compete with opponents from Gazprom-Yugra to reach the semi-finals. The first match of the quarterfinal confrontation ended in favor of Torpedo, in which the Nizhny Novgorod team won with a score of 5:3 on the visitors’ court.

The second match of the quarterfinal confrontation between Torpedo and Gazprom-Ugra will take place in Nizhny Novgorod. It’s difficult to pick a favorite, but the home court factor in the return match will definitely be on Torpedo’s side. Last season, when the teams played in the quarterfinals of the playoffs, the Nizhny Novgorod team was able to win two brilliant victories over Gazprom-Yugra, although the black-and-greens performed much weaker in Yugorsk. Before the start of the return match, Torpedo has an advantage, but it certainly does not give the opportunity to play freely or relaxed.

Let us remind you that the return match of the 1/4 finals of the Russian Cup between Torpedo and Gazprom-Yugra will take place on January 6. The meeting is scheduled to start at 16:00 Moscow time.
