Yesterday “Sheriff” defeated “Olympia” from Beltsy in the away match of the 12th leg of the Moldova Championship in the National Division. Thus Leonid Kuchuk’s team was slowly approaching its permanent place on the first line of the league table.
The match itself did not give the Champion a lot of troubles. “Olympia” – the ambitious club. However, at the present time it was the only game in town that the team from Beltsy could brag about. Unvaried attacks with long passes to dark-skinned forwards Shake and Murtaila did not often disturb the defense of the guests. Both Gnanou and Tarkhnishvili, who were seldom but effectively helped by side defenders Mamah and Wallace, effortlessly trained interceptions and play at the second floor. Thus both the Brazilian and Togolese player were often linked to attacks that created thrills on flanks in Bakhurinsky’s area.
Attacks towards the opposing goal were carried on throughout the front. And it was clear that a goal was a matter of time. Goncharov was exhausted by Balima on the right flank of attacks, Gorodetchi began in increasing frequency to go away from tall Bronnikov. And Sharf, taking his position in the centre of defense, obviously gave up before the match yet and his mistakes caused emotions both of Lilian Popescu and spectators. As a result, on the 25th minute a chain reached the goalkeeper of “Olympia”. Bakhurinsky did not stand a test. In looks a simple cross ball turned into the goal. The keeper of “Olympia” did not manage with the simple ball, Gorodetchi played the episode to the end and made an assist to Aliaksei Kuchuk. The best scorer of the last two years easy rolled the ball into the goal.
Willing not to tempt fate, the guests carried on going forward. Gorodetchi twice rounded Bronnikov on the left flank. For the first time after his shot the ball struck against a knoll and passed over the goal. His second shot was more dangerous, the ball flew in centimeters from the right goalpost. Then, unrolling the defense in the centre, Nadson came out on the striking position. That was a biting shot with the left foot but Bakhurinsky managed with the ball as well as in the next episode, when Negrut made a header under the bar after a cross pass. And at the end of the first half the bar saved “Olympia” from the second goal. It was Gorodetchi who strongly shot a free kick.
The second half of the time proved to be more intensive, but the only thing which distinguished the home team in attacks was Andriesh’s shot from the distance of 30 meters. And the guests took pains not so much. But at the same time, tension on stands notably increased. The local police, working very well, made the most violent supporters go out from the stadium. The match came to the end by outlet of Balima, Kajkut and Rouamba on two defenders. Even after the expiration of time Florent would not answer the question “How could you fail to hit the goal from the striking position?” But it was clear and obvious who was the master in the house.
