Andrei Okladnikov created a masterpiece after a brilliant pass from… the goalkeeper.
The Enisey players in Krasnoyarsk beat Novorossiysk Chernomorets in the 11th round of the MELBET First League – 3:1. The home team opened the scoring already in the 25th second, when Alexander Lomakin beautifully took advantage of a mistake by the guest defense. The second goal of the Krasnoyarsk team turned out to be even more unreal!
The episode in question occurred at the 39th minute. Yenisei goalkeeper Evgeniy Staver carried the ball away from his goal into the field. The blow was so strong that the ball flew into someone else’s penalty area. Waiting for him there was Krasnoyarsk forward Andrei Okladnikov, who at the last moment managed to hit him with the top of his head. After this maneuver, the ball flew under the crossbar, and Chernomorets goalkeeper Daniil Frolkin had no chance to save it.
Okladnikov wildly celebrated the goal, and Staver ran to the bench in joy. Returning to the goal, the goalkeeper was in slight shock and even shook his head in disbelief. Of course, such assists and goals don’t happen every day!

In the second half, Yenisei could have strengthened its lead, but Lomakin failed to convert his penalty in the 51st minute. Five minutes later, the Novorossiysk team got back one goal – Anton Andreev scored from the 11-meter mark. But the Krasnoyarsk team had the last word: in the 77th minute, Nikita Glushkov shot past Frolkin from close range. The victory allowed Enisey to break away from the relegation zone and get as close as possible to the top 10.
Okladnikov’s super goal was his second this season. The Krasnoyarsk football graduate scored his first goal on August 19 against Volgar. Then Andrey ran into the penalty area, twisted two defenders and gracefully hit the right corner.
But most of Okladnikov’s goal against Chernomorets belonged to goalkeeper Evgeniy Staver. Not every top midfielder will make such a pass!
