“I had no doubt that Spartak would crush.” Bubnov dismantled the victory of the “red-white” in Nizhny Novgorod

It must be admitted that Pari NN ruffled Spartak’s nerves today. Hammer Milson your moment when the score was 1-0 in favor of the hosts, the game could have ended very differently. So, in a sense, the “red-whites” were even lucky.

However, Spartak still had an overwhelming playing advantage. Nizhny closed and tried not to give space to the opponent’s forwards. In the first half, it turned out very well – after all, the team has had such a model since the time of Alexander Kerzhakov. “Spartak” owned the ball, but could not create anything, the last pass was missing.

In the second half, this situation changed, and after Shamar Nicholson equalized, I personally had no doubt at all that Spartak would put pressure on them. After a penalty kick, superbly executed by Quincy Promes, the “Lower” tried to crush with the help of canopies, but this did not lead to anything. But let me emphasize once again: this victory certainly did not come easily to the Red-Whites.

Muscovites’ attacking line deserves special mention, in which neither Alexander Sobolev nor Mikhail Ignatov was present today. Nicholson and Zinkovsky, who replaced them, fit perfectly into the squad and participated in the goals. I have said more than once: Spartak has a strong reserve, good competition in the team.

At the same time, I think Guillermo Abascal will still continue to trust Sobolev, although Shamar had a decent match. However, if desired, they can also be used in pairs – especially against teams such as Pari, who defend tightly and massively.
