The goalkeeper of “Torpedo” Alexander Dovbnya marked the beginning of the defeat of his team on the home field.
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”.
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.

Former coach of the Ukrainian national team Jozsef Szabo Meta.ua has exclusively chosen the version of the three best Ukrainian football players of this season for its website.
“In the first row, Ilya Zabarny is almost out of the competition,” Sabo said. – As far as I remember, there has been no regression in the game yet. Yes, the defender had unimpressive tackles, but these were isolated cases. But he’s only 23 years old. The contract with Paris Saint-Germain shows that this football player is currently one of the best in Europe. And do not forget that at that age he played 55 matches for the Ukrainian national team.
I will give second place to Ruslan Malinovsky, who seems to have found a second youth after being injured. This guy’s head is clear, making great passes is not difficult for a midfielder. Largely thanks to Malinovsky’s effective play, the Ukrainian national team managed to qualify for the play-offs in the 2026 World Cup qualifying tournament.
The third will be Everton’s left back Vitaly Mikolenko. He is a consistent starter for his team. And no matter what position the team is in, the English league is still the strongest league in Europe. He is an irreplaceable football player in the national team.

Leonid Slutsky last year he performed well as coach of the Shanghai Shenhua football team. This opinion was expressed by the striker of Togliatti “Akron” Artem Dzyuba.
Last season, Slutsky took second place in the Chinese league with Shanghai Shenhua and led the club to the Asian Champions League playoffs for the first time. The team also won the Chinese Super Cup.
“He’s doing well in China, the only thing he was missing was a championship, everything was leading to that,” Dziuba said. “But it’s tough for a team that’s been in fifth place all their life, they don’t have that winning mentality.”
Slutsky is 54 years old and has been at the helm of the Chinese club since December 2023. In his career he has coached Rubin Kazan, Uralan Elista, Mosca, Krylya Sovetov Samara, CSKAEnglish “Hull” and Dutch “Vitesse”. Together with CSKA the specialist became champion of Russia three times, won the Russian Cup and the Super Cup twice.
