MOSCOW, May 4. The Krasnoyarsk “Yenisei” players played a draw on the road with Nizhnekamsk Neftekhimik in the match of the 31st round of the First League, which became the first one missed due to disqualification for the head coach of the Siberian team Andrei Tikhonov.
The meeting, which took place on Saturday in Nizhnekamsk, ended with the score 0:0.
In another match of the day, Yaroslavl's «Shinnik» also tied on the road with Vladikavkaz's «Alania» — 1:1. Islam Mashukov scored for the hosts (40th minute), and Igor Andreev (80th minute) for the guests.
Alania scored 42 points and is in eighth place in the standings of the second strongest division of the Russian Championship, Shinnik is in 11th place with 41 points. “Yenisey” (41) is in ninth place, and “Neftekhimik” (42) is in seventh.
On April 20, “Enisey” lost away to the SKA-Khabarovsk club with a score of 0:3. For the first time in five years, a woman was the chief referee in a championship match. Tikhonov criticized the referee at the post-match press conference, saying that it is not normal for women to referee matches of men's teams, and advised them to gain experience in the games of women's and children's teams. On May 3, the RFU CDC decided to disqualify the coach for five First League matches (three are real sanction, two are conditional; probationary period is one year). The Krasnoyarsk club announced that it will challenge the verdict.
