Lost to Sporting
In the 10th tour of Division-A, the second team of FC Sheriff was defeated by Sporting Trestienne. (0: 1).
The match turned out to be tough for both teams. Both those and others spared no effort on the football field. There was a lot of struggle, fouls, yellow cards, and there were also red ones. The intensity of the struggle was predictable, given the current location of the guests on the second line in the championship table.
The opponent preferred to give up territory and wait for his chance ahead. The reserves of FC Sheriff controlled the course of the game and, as usual, pressed in a positional attack. The first half did not present any goals scored, despite the fact that the teams had scoring opportunities.
In the second half the wards of Shota Makharadze started with a collected and aggressive start - it seemed that our players were about to score, but contrary to expectations, the Sporting player scored. Alexander Cristioglo was the first to catch the ball, beating our goalkeeper in a full-time duel.
After the goal was scored, Marian Ciobanu charges began to cuddle even closer to their goal - regular counterattacks and sections of projectile possession disappeared. The ending of the game turned out to be very tense, the guests were in the minority - Eduard Avram received a red card. There was an episode with a foul in the penalty area on Evgeniy Glige, but the referee did not indicate a penalty, but, on the contrary, punished our striker with a yellow card for the simulation. Six minutes of stoppage time did not change the situation on the scoreboard - the first home defeat this season.
