The first was “Asmaral” -1992, and the second – “Tyumen” -1998, which opponents scored 3 goals in 5 times.

UNCOMFORTABLE

“Locomotive “lost the 6th game in a row in the confrontation with CSKA (total score – 3:13). The latest victory in the derby railway has won under Jose Kouseyru – March 24, 2012 with 2: 0. In addition, players of “Loco” can not score CSKA in the last two games (total – 196 minutes). It’s just the second time in 48 games between the clubs in the Russian championships, when the red-green gate CSKA did not hit twice in a row. For the first time it happened in 2008 (0: 0 and 0: 2).

unstressed

It is worth noting that the match CSKA – “Locomotive” in the second times in a row was very unimpressive – only 3 hits the target for two. The same thing happened in the 30th round of last season, when three times the target hit CSKA. And before reporting the match of the season in the capital derby 4 was applied 48 shots on target (on average – 12).

RETIREMENT

Resignation Leonid Kuchuk after the 7th round was very late the first change of the head coach in the league since 2003. Then the first changed mentor “Moscow” – after 8 rounds.

refine

Aleksey Ionov second time this season (third career) scored two goals in one match. The first time this season he scored twice in the 5th round of the gate “Ural” (2: 0 home). Take Ionova allowed Dynamo to continue productive series – 6 games in the Premier League in a row they score at least two goals. And in all competitions similar series of blue and white is 9 meetings. Both figures – a record for the club in Russian history. Previous similar series of “Dinamo” lasted only six matches – in all competitions in the season 2011/12.

Native walls

Until the end of the championship of the opportunity to play at the new stadium will still have “Ufa”, which will open the renovated after the renovation “Oilman”.

Skip

Goal Jurado broke the record series of dry Grozny in the current season. Jaroslav Godzyur missed for 4 complete games and his streak was 537 minutes. This is a new record, “Terek”, which was previously in the Premier League has never issued more than three fights in a row dry.

PUNITIVE

In a match “Spartak” – “Terek” Both goals were scored from the penalty. And if the “Spartacus” in this season straight punches with standards already scored (in the 1st round Denis Glushakov away struck the gate, “Rubin” – 4: 0), then missed so red and white for the first time in 10 months. November 10, 2013 gates Artem Rebrov strike from 17 yards hit the Hulk, but his “Zenith” in the away match yielded (2: 4).

DOUBLE

“growth” in the match against the “Zenith” was the author of the event for which the Premier League did not know 4 and a half years: one club players scored just 2 goals in the gate. The last time it happened March 27, 2010, when in the match against the “Wings of the Soviets”, “distinguished” players “Tom” (3: 2 away). First, advocates of Siberians Andrey Ivanov Ilya Gultyaev 12 minutes made the score 0: 2, but in the end the guests won strong-willed victory. It is noteworthy that rostovchanin Vitaly Clerks struck the gate and in the last match, but later the ball was rewritten Kazantsev Igor Portnyagina. Nevertheless, this is the third own goal in the career of the defense.

hopelessly

UNBEATABLE

“Kuban” won a victory over a strong-willed “Ruby” (2: 1) and, along with “Zenith”, still is undefeated this season. However, until the club record so far away. In the seasons 2012/13 and 2013/14 have not lost Krasnodar 16 games in a row (+ 6 = 10, balls 22-12).

Interrupted

“Dynamo” for the first time in the twenty-first century won Avtozavodtsev in their field in the Russian championship. The fact that the previous away win over the blue and white “Torpedo” was produced April 17, 1999 – with a score of 1: 0. After that, the blue and white could not win the black and white on their field of 7 matches in a row (= 3-4, balls 5-13).

Now the only club not winning the championship, was the “Arsenal”. “Ufa” remains the only club in the Premier League, did not score any points at home (3 meetings).

SERIES
