Daniil Gurchenko beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 35. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Match19 Aug 2026

Spartak Tambov through in the cup

A 3‑0 win over Dinamo Kirov, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Match22 Aug 2026

Spartak Tambov cannot stop winning

4 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

A defender's goal wins it for Spartak Tambov — 7.92

1 for Roman Petrov, marked 7.92, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

No thanks: Maxim Nesterov rejects the move

Spartak Tambov had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Shinnik, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Spartak Tambov rebuffed over Stanislav Puzanov

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Neftekhimik have kept their man, and Spartak Tambov go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The terraces24 Aug 2026

One of their own: Roman Petrov

He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match22 Aug 2026

Dmitry Kuptsov the difference as Spartak Tambov beat Strogino

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Dmitry Kuptsov. 2‑0 against Strogino, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

A masterclass from Maxim Sergeev

Marked 8.27 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Daniil Gurchenko

Successful dribbles: 36. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

No thanks: Mikhail Tikhonov rejects the move

Spartak Tambov had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Yenisey, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Spartak Tambov

Daniil Gurchenko and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The terraces10 Aug 2026

The crowd has taken to Maxim Sergeev

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match8 Aug 2026

Spartak Tambov see off Arsenal Tula 2

Three points for Spartak Tambov, 2‑0 the final word against Arsenal Tula 2 in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Market10 Aug 2026

One of our own: Semyon Silaev joins the Spartak Tambov first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Semyon Silaev is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market10 Aug 2026

Mikhail Polivanov steps up from the Spartak Tambov academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Mikhail Polivanov has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market10 Aug 2026

Spartak Tambov promote Pyotr Borovikov from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Pyotr Borovikov has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market10 Aug 2026

One of our own: Lev Glebov joins the Spartak Tambov first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Lev Glebov is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
