The central meeting of Saturday at first was not too pleasing with intrigue. In the first half, CSKA had the advantage, and Krasnodar only managed to bring a penalty. The army team controlled the course of the game and almost did not allow the opponents to create anything at their gates.

However, in the second half the home team had to get nervous. Almost immediately after the break, Krasnodar played back one goal. And scored a man who does it very rarely.

Christian Ramirez delivered a powerful blow from behind the free kick!

From the right funeral

The Ecuadorian definitely cannot be called a real scorer. He has been in Krasnodar since 2017, but during all this time he scored only three times. Ramirez sent the first ball in the Bulls shirt against Rennes in the Champions League. The second – at the gates of the Moscow “Locomotive” in the current season of the RPL. And now CSKA fell victim to the left-back.

Ramirez’s two previous balls were roughly similar to each other. He scored both Rennes and Lokomotiv from the left half-flank zone with blows from outside the penalty area. This time, Christian again hit from a distance, but there is one important difference.

Previously, Ramirez scored for Krasnodar only from his working left foot. Now the Ecuadorian struck from the right, and the distance was much further. Christian picked up the ball after the removal of 25 meters from the gate. I made a false swing, worked under the right one and hit the bottom corner with all my might.

The blow, of course, turned out well, but the goalkeeper’s mistake should also be noted. The impression was that Igor Akinfeev was absolutely shocked by such courage of the defender. If the captain of the army team had not been late with the jump, he would certainly have reflected this shot.

beauty does not save

Alas, the wonderful goal of Ramirez did nothing to help Krasnodar. After 15 minutes, the team brought itself another penalty – the Brazilian Caio, a big fan of scoring mistakes, tried hard. The penalty kick had to be interrupted, but in the end the number “three” still caught fire on the scoreboard. And at the end of CSKA and completely brought the gap in the account to indecent.

Perhaps such an outcome is fair. Beauty sometimes saves the world, but not this time. Too great was the advantage of the army. With such a course of the match, the Ecuadorian’s chic shot looked more like an accident. However, it’s time to get used to the fact that Ramirez is one of the most experienced players in this Krasnodar squad. This means that he will score more often. Such legionnaires definitely adorn the championship of Russia!
