Volgograd “Rotor” beat “Forte” on the road with a score of 2:1

In Taganrog, at the stadium “Forte Arena”, the match of the second round of the second stage of the Russian Football Championship among the teams of the Second League ended, where the local football club “Forte” met with “Rotor” from Volgograd. As a result, the Blue-and-Blues won with a score of 2:1.

At the beginning of the match Volgograd controlled the ball, combining in different parts of the field. “Forte” preferred to play on the counterattacks, not objecting to such a situation. However, already in the 6th minute, the Taganrog team managed to take the lead, when the former player of the Blue-and-Blues, Dmitry Lavrishchev, headed the ball into the Rotor goal after a corner kick.

In the 42nd minute, Rotor was finally able to level the score when Danila Pelikh scored the ball into the Forte goal after a cross on Artem Maksimenko. However, already in the 44th minute, the Volgograd team took the lead thanks to a goal by Ilya Safronov, who put the ball into the left corner of the Forte goal with one touch.

In the second half, the home team had more possession of the ball and were looking for an opportunity to score a goal, while Rotor defended compactly and looked for an opportunity to counterattack. As a result, “Forte” could not create something really dangerous at the gates of “Rotor”.

After the match, “Rotor” moved to second place in the standings, as “The Seagull”, which was in this position, plays its match with the leader of the group “Chernomorets” later. The probability that the Volgograd team will gain a foothold in second place will depend on the result of the match between Chaika and Chernomorets in the reporting round.
