Kirill Korolkov runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 38. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Amkar up to position 1
14 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Amkar tear Uralets-TS apart
Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 4‑1 against Uralets-TS, and it could have been more.

A brace, and Alexandr Dolgov takes the afternoon — 8.81
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Alexandr Dolgov provided it, and the 8.81 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.
Player ratings21 Sep 2026
Nikita Goldobin scored one and made one — 7.90
Two of the goals had his name somewhere on them, which is the afternoon a manager wants from anybody asked to both create and finish. 7.90, and 2 involvements.

Tempers go at Amkar
Kirill Korolkov was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

No hiding place for Mikhail Sukhoruchenko
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Mikhail Sukhoruchenko, and the manager let it.

Words at Amkar training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Alex Matsukatov is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
Squad21 Sep 2026
Lev Tolkachev has become a man the manager trusts
Nobody at Amkar will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.
