Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Ignat Dorodnyh made the kick off which started today's match. Sergey Prohorov charged in rather forcefully in the 4th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Sergey Prohorov the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Sergey Prohorov hit a great freekick 4 minutes into the match. Andrey Kormuhin sent away a hard shot on goal in the 8th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Ostap Ivaschenko sent away a hard shot on goal in the 10th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Stanislav Pogorelyi didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Dmitriy Rogozinskiy went, in the 14th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-0 was the resulting score. If Dmitriy Rogozinskiy had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 18th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Yuriy Kiselev was extremely unlucky when he, in the 19th minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. Yuriy Kiselev recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 21st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Ilya Ivashintsev was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 23rd played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. Yoshkar-Ola's Stanislav Pogorelyi played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Yuriy Kiselev in the 26th minute of play. Yoshkar-Ola's Ignat Dorodnyh got a good chance for a goal in the 27th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After a defensive mix-up in Tolyatti FC's zone, Ostap Ivaschenko stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Stanislav Borisov came out of the goal and Ostap Ivaschenko tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 36 minutes into the match, Yoshkar-Ola's goalkeeper Stanislav Pogorelyi had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Dmitriy Rogozinskiy. Yoshkar-Ola's Stanislav Pogorelyi proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 37th minute of the match, managed to save Yoshkar-Ola from getting a goal against them. After 41 played minutes Tolyatti FC got a freekick which was hit by Andrey Zudinov. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 1-0.

Ignat Dorodnyh sent away a hard shot on goal in the 54th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a rather tough play, Yoshkar-Ola's Valeriy Schelkov got a free kick in the 57th minute. Dmitriy Rogozinskiy received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 60th minute. Stanislav Pogorelyi tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 67th minute, Yuriy Kiselev ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Stanislav Pogorelyi was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-0. Dmitriy Rogozinskiy recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 80th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. If Dmitriy Rogozinskiy had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 82nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Yuriy Kiselev fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 91st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Stanislav Pogorelyi having to interfere. Dmitriy Rogozinskiy might have been able to make a better finish in the 95th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Stanislav Pogorelyi. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Dmitriy Rogozinskiy ran back to his position shaking his head. 95 minutes into the match, Dmitriy Rogozinskiy notched a goal, 3-0, to the right of Yoshkar-Ola's Stanislav Pogorelyi. Stanislav Pogorelyi was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Tolyatti FC had played much better football throughout.
