A few hours before the match in Nizhny Novgorod, heavy snow started and by the beginning of the game even artificial heating did not help clear the field of snow.

At the 76th minute, the captain of Krylyov Avalyan beat his guardian Zubkov, and he shot down a Samara player on the penalty line. The judge showed a yellow card which became the second for him and awarded a free kick.

The only goal in the game was scored at the end of the first half by Fakel, though it was their own goal. Sergei Shishkin hit on goal from five meters, but ended up in Gorodov. For the bounced ball Shchegolev and one of the Volzhan fought. Schegolev was the first to catch the ball, but knocked him right into the goal. This episode attracted the attention of both fans and match inspectors, who put the referees for the game "bad luck". The Samarets who fought with Shchegolev was offside, but the referees did not record this. In fairness, it is worth noting that the “Wings”, especially in the second half, had a lot of chances to score. In the 48th minute, Averyanov had a good chance to increase the score, later Avalyan did not score one on one when leaving. [4] [5] [6] [7]

Trying to recoup, Dynamo almost missed. At the 36th minute Makeev almost hit the far corner. Avalyan hit the goalkeeper who went to meet him. It seemed to the Samartans that Smetanin played outside with a free hand, but the judge decided otherwise.
