The meeting between the teams took place on Wednesday in Zhigulevsk (Samara region) and ended with the score 2:1 in favor of the hosts.
“Spartak” played poorly, because they were poorly staffed in the off-season. They bought mediocre players, or they could take Nikita Saltykov from Akron. Now the team is unbalanced and is in an emotional crisis. One leader has an injury, the other talks too much. Hence the failures and pessimism. Guillermo Abascal is a normal coach, but he does not have enough players for the tasks that are required of him. Everything is made up of these bricks. If the bricks are bad, then the wall has collapsed,» Chervichenko said.
Akron reached the first stage of the finals of the Russian Cup regions path, where they will play with the winner of the match between Samara's Krylya Sovetov and Krasnodar. Previously, the Togliatti club During the competition, he beat Moscow «Torpedo», «Lokomotiv» and «Dynamo», which represent the Russian Premier League (RPL).
