Krasnodar head coach Vladimir Ivich named CSKA goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev the best player of the match of the 13th round of the Russian Championship.
On Sunday, Krasnodar lost to CSKA in the away match of the 13th round of the MIR RPL – 0:1, Fedor Chalov scored a goal in the 41st minute. After the game, the best player award was awarded to the striker.
— I want to congratulate CSKA on the victory. It was a good match. We were better, we had many chances. The opponent had two chances. The last 30 minutes were played in the opponent’s half. Butchie had a chance, he didn’t take it. The last passes were not assists. When you play against CSKA, their goalkeeper becomes the best player, everything is obvious.
— The team is in first place. Zenit is catching up. Nobody canceled the competition; in the last matches they gave away 5 points. Was this a surprise to you?
— When we started the season, no one asked to be in first place. But we believed in it, that’s why we’re in first place now. Yes, we lost 5 points, a difficult period. We didn’t deserve to lose today, but that’s football. It’s not possible to run every time; there is a better team on which a lot of money is spent. Money matters a lot in football. If we look at how much we spent in June, and where we are now, and where other teams are, everything becomes obvious,” Ivic was quoted as saying by the Match TV website.
CSKA head coach Vladimir Fedotov noted that his team had the advantage during the game.
— We dominated, pressed well and had chances from there. We must pay tribute to their goalkeeper, who helped out his team in several moments, as did our Igor, who also played masterfully and left his goal intact.
When we took the lead, we began to act more compactly, in the middle block. But the opponent pushed us a little into the penalty area, and we didn’t finish those episodes a little when we needed to bring quick attacks to their logical conclusion,” Fedotov said.
CSKA scored 21 points and ranks fifth in the RPL WORLD table; Krasnodar (28) suffered its first defeat of the RPL season, but remained in the lead.

Roma’s Ukrainian striker Artem Dovbik According to Il Tempo, he will have to undergo surgery.
It turned out that the injury the 28-year-old striker received in the match against Lecce in the 19th round of the Italian Serie A was more serious than expected. After new tests, Roma and the player decided to undergo surgery to remove the musculotendinous lesion on the left thigh.
Therefore, Dovbik will probably not be able to help the Ukrainian national team in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The striker is unlikely to recover for the match against the Swedish national team on March 26.
Dovbik was injured in the match between Lecce and Roma in the 19th round of Serie A on January 6. Artem scored in the 71st minute, setting the final score of the match (2:0), and left the field due to injury in the 86th minute.
Artem played 13 matches for Wolves in the Italian Championship this season, scoring 3 goals and making 1 assist.

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.
