Rostov striker Nikolai Komlichenko admired the game of Krasnodar goalkeeper Matvey Safonov in a face-to-face meeting of the teams as part of the 12th round of the WORLD RPL, noting that he is one of the best goalkeepers in Russia.
On Sunday, Rostov won a strong-willed victory over Krasnodar at home with a score of 3:2. Safonov conceded three goals in the second half.
– You conceded the first goal in the 10th second, how did this affect the team?
– They were a little shocked. Then we missed the second one, it was very hard, but then we corrected for our captain. We played okay. We had many moments. There Motya (Safonov) did a good job, he saved everything. It turns out that after 0:2 it is also possible to pull out victories. He must be embarrassed to make such a mistake. The whole match dragged, and then such an unfortunate mistake. Motya is a top goalkeeper. It happens to everyone. He, Akinfeev and Pesyakov are the top three goalkeepers for me.
– The backlog from the “Zenith” is five points. Do you care?
We don’t think about it at all. We like it, we want to stay ahead. Nobody bets on us that we will fight for medals, but this is only a plus for us, ”the Match TV website quotes Komlichenko as saying.
Rostov, with 25 points, is in second place in the RPL standings. In the next match, Valery Karpin’s team will host Ural Yekaterinburg on October 14.

World Cup
TRUBIN: “The goal is the World Championship. Not just getting into the group, but getting out of the group.”
Goalkeeper of Benfica and the Ukrainian national team Anatoly Trubin He talked about the duties of the national team in 2026 as follows:
“World Cup rivals? To be honest, it’s hard to talk about it right now. I know the match with Sweden for sure, but I still can’t quite understand what kind of rivals we are talking about. Yes, they are talking about Albania and Poland, these are serious teams. But right now we have to go through Sweden first.”
Now everyone is in club football, everyone has their own duties, their own focus. Concentrate on the club for now. When the national team time comes, we will prepare for Sweden and continue our way step by step. We have been convinced over and over again that there is no point in getting ahead of ourselves. Everyone remembers how this could have ended.
Of course, the World Championship is a very important and big goal. The last time the Ukrainian national team played there was in 2006, so it would definitely be very, very nice for us. But don’t just go out, make yourself look good, try to stand out from the group.
Therefore, the first task is to participate in the World Championship. I think this is a goal and a dream not only for the players, but also for all the fans and all Ukrainians. “When the national team plays, everyone watches football, even those who don’t follow it much.”
