First half complete control, went 1-0 up, then conceded on stroke of half time. Got scrappy second half, but held nerve to win. MOTM Mikhail Biryukov for an utterly selfless display, (sort-of) assist and being the glue in attack.
Poor decision making costs Tyumen again... You can see it in the players' eyes, they want out. Can't blame them. At least the youth is promising...
It doesn't get much worse; 54-hour round trip, red card and 3-0 defeat. Deeper down we know Tyumen are in serious trouble...
These refereeing catastrophes keep piling up... This time it is our lump up front, Ivan Yakovlev, who was on the wrong end of an embarrassing red card decision. Oh well, at least it was a clean sheet.

Solid away win that, especially after all the chaos once again off the pitch. Grab first league start, some brilliant saves, Karpov scored and worked well with Biryukov, Dzakhov MOTM with some sublime passing.
Desperately poor game in overall quality, Tyumen's final third execution, refereeing performance... Only 13 games left, and most likely 15 points to make up by the end of this weekend.
As you'd expect the red card changed a lot. Five minutes in, 1-0 up and against 10 men: Tyumen were cruising. David Dzakhov man of the match, but could easily have Shabat Logua, Artem Dokuchaev or Mikhail Biryukov. Nevertheless, they were ruthless when they needed to be. Haven't always been able to say that...
