An ordinary match of the 16th round of the Russian Premier League between “Torpedo” and “Wings of the Soviets” ended with a quite ordinary victory for the Samara team on the road with a score of 2:0. The Volzhans got their second victory in a row, while the Muscovites extended their losing streak to four matches.

The most memorable episode of the game was the blunder of the goalkeeper Alexander Dovbny. The goalkeeper of the Moscow team is the best keeper in the RPL in terms of one of the primary indicators, but this did not stop him from allowing the classic “bring”.

Output error

The score in the match between “Torpedo” and “Wings” was opened in the 34th minute. The guests midfielder Sergey Pinyaev served from a standard position to the center of the penalty area, and the Brazilian Fernando Costanza closed the canopy, slightly breaking his head under the post. At this point, Dovbnya came out of the gate, perhaps hoping to pick up the ball in his hands in a jump. However, already on the move, the goalkeeper realized that he would not succeed. Alexander stepped back, but did not reach the ball flying into the net.

Of course, the first goal of the Samara team is on the conscience of the Torpedo goalkeeper. Perhaps it was this episode that influenced the further game. Already two minutes after the start of the second half, the Wings increased their advantage in the score – Pinyaev hit the opponent’s goal after the pass of Roman Yezhov. And avtozavodtsy in this game inflicted only one shot on target.

What is especially interesting is that Dovbnya this season is the best goalkeeper of the Russian championship in terms of one of the main goalkeeper indicators – the percentage of shots reflected. Before the match with the Wings, the guard of the torpedo gate stopped 84% of the balls that threatened his possessions. This alignment is especially surprising, given the position of “Torpedo” – after 16 rounds, the team is in last place in the standings. Avtozavodtsy have one of the strongest goalkeepers in the league, but even the best sometimes make mistakes.
