The SKA Khabarovsk 2 Herald
Match19 Sep 2026
Whatever happens, SKA Khabarovsk 2 do not lose
7 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Nürtilek Sulaymanov in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at SKA Khabarovsk 2 this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

SKA Khabarovsk 2 find a way past Zenit Penza
Zenit Penza made SKA Khabarovsk 2 work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.
The dugout21 Sep 2026
No hiding place for Nürtilek Sulaymanov
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Nürtilek Sulaymanov, and the manager let it.

Kirill Silaev has his say
“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Kirill Silaev on a 2‑0 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.
The dugout21 Sep 2026
Nürtilek Sulaymanov dropped after a run of poor form
The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

No place for Stepan Burdakov in the plan
“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Stepan Burdakov has his answer from SKA Khabarovsk 2; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Demjan Iljev was immovable
13 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.
In brief
- Market SKA Khabarovsk 2 put Vladislav Nikiforov up for sale
- The dugout Vadim Vshivkov asks for a word with the manager
- Squad Stanislav Kupeev: “I am not a substitute”
