The goalkeeper did not believe that the ball would reach his possession. And then I had to take the bottle.
The First League, also known among the people as the “Best League in the World”, continues to amaze football fans with goals for every taste. This time, an unbanal goal could be observed in Ulyanovsk, where the local Volga hosted the Nizhnekamsk Neftekhimik. A kick from the center of the field took the goalkeeper by surprise.
He did not have time to stop the miracle goal.
Ulyanovsk “Volga” for its third match after promotion in the class is not yet shining with results. The team, which has risen to the First League from the Second, does not manage to get a debut victory in any way. After a draw in the game with Yenisei, the Volga players lost to Ufa, and now they couldn’t get points in the confrontation with Neftekhimik.
The Nizhnekamsk team, having tested all the possible outcomes of matches at the start of the season, seized the advantage at the beginning of the second half. Forward Merabi Uridiya converted a penalty kick. Volga did not find an answer to the opponent’s effective attack, and at the end of the meeting they missed again.
At the fifth minute added to the regular time of the match, many participants were already dreaming of the final whistle. But midfielder Maxim Laikin was not one of those, who came on as a substitute only in the 72nd minute and had not yet had time to enjoy the game to the fullest. The 19-year-old football player took possession of the ball in his own half of the field, got to the middle, and then a crazy idea came to him to hit the goal. Perhaps he was just in a hurry to break through before the referee announced the end of the match, or he believed very much in his scoring instinct.

Thought – implemented. Volga goalkeeper Semyon Morozov apparently did not believe that the ball, which was somewhere very far away, would so quickly be in his possession. And it’s not like the gatekeeper went on a long walk in the style of Manuel Neuer.
He lost the gate a little, but still there was a chance for salvation. The goalkeeper was even close to preventing the creation of a masterpiece. But where is it – the insidious ball darted past the hands right on target. Morozov, in frustration, took up the bottle, but did not drink, but threw it to the ground in his hearts. And what else was left to do – a miracle goal was scored in his gate.

Russian Football Federation (RFU) hopes that the International Football Federation (FIFA) will follow the recommendation of the International Olympic Committee (THAT IS) subject to the admission of youth teams. The Secretary General spoke about it in an interview RFU Maxim Mitrofanov.
In December THAT IS recommended removing all restrictions for young Russian athletes and allowing them to participate in all competitions with the anthem and flag.
“This recommendation has become an important event for all Russian sports. We see that in many sports international federations are making decisions on the admission of our athletes,” Mitrofanov said. “And there are more and more such decisions.” Recommendation THAT IS plays an important role in this process. Let’s proceed from the fact that FIFA this recommendation will be heeded.”
“At the same time, it is important to understand that the popularity and attention, including at the state and political level, towards different sports in Europe are different. The large international basketball, hockey and football federations are more careful in analyzing the decisions they make. They probably already realized that they have overdone it in 2022. Now it is even more difficult for them to get out of this situation, also because they are afraid of facing the position of a large number of countries which, at the state level, will hinder the implementation decisions about our return,” Mitrofanov added.
Russian clubs and national teams have been suspended from international tournaments due to the situation in Ukraine.

Invitation from the Togliatti Akron striker Artem Dziuba joining the Russian national football team was a positive event. This opinion was expressed in an interview by the general secretary of the Russian Football Federation (RFU) Maxim Mitrofanov.
In March Dzyuba scored against the Grenada team (5:0) and passed Alexandra Kerzakova in terms of goals for the Russian national team, he scored 31 goals.
“I rate it positively [приглашение Дзюбы в сборную]. I think it was a good decision by our coach [Валерия Карпина]Mitrofanov said. “The footballer deserves this opportunity. I am quite relaxed in counting records, but for the players and fans this plays a role. It is also important that the coach allowed the player to prove himself, showing that he had no conflict with Artem.”
“He is a good guy and a good footballer and he took the story very positively. He managed to score, it was clear from Artem’s emotions that he really wanted it,” Mitrofanov added.
In December Kerzhakov announced on his Telegram channel that he had sent a request to the International Football Federation (FIFA) about the authorship of the second goal of the Russian team in the friendly match against the German team on June 8, 2005 (2:2). If RFU admits that the goal was not scored Andrei Arshavinand Kerzhakov, then he will again share first place with Dzyuba.
