Yekaterinburg “Ural” at the start of the season was notable for its reliable defense, having conceded only three goals in five rounds. In many ways, this was the merit of the goalkeeper of the team, Ilya Pomazun, who was even noted for being included in the extended list of the Russian national team. However, the trip to St. Petersburg significantly spoiled the statistics of the “bumblebees”: already in the first half, the team of Viktor Gancharenko conceded three times, and one of the goals turned out to be completely mocking.

Technique and coolness

Zenit in the game of the sixth round of the WORLD RPL hosted one of the unexpected leaders of the starting part of the championship – Yekaterinburg Ural. “Bumblebees” this season have already managed to upset some of the favorites, but the away match with the champion did not work out. Already in the eighth minute, Ivan Sergeev scored the first goal against the guests. A little later, the advantage of the team was developed by Mateo Cassierra. And just before the break there was a most offensive third ball.

In the first added minute, the goalkeeper of Ural got the ball, whom Mingiyan Beveev decided to involve in the game. Pomazun planned to start the attack of his team with a short pass, going far from the gate for this. The idea may have been good, but the execution turned out to be monstrous: Zenit midfielder Claudinho intercepted the pass. Further, the Brazilian had only not to lose his composure and perform a high-quality blow. Neither the nerves nor the midfielder’s technique let him down: he effortlessly sent the ball over Pomazun’s collar.

Ilya tried to stop the ball with his hands, even while outside the penalty area, but still failed to do anything. The goalkeeper could only be angry with himself: the import turned out to be completely egregious. Happy Claudinho meanwhile ran to celebrate his debut goal in the current season of the championship of Russia. After a couple of unsuccessful matches, his team is gradually regaining the championship move.
