Match

Cup progress for Orenburg

A 3‑1 win over Mashuk, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Player ratings

A brace, and Miro takes the afternoon — 8.84

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Miro provided it, and the 8.84 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

The dugout

Artem Kasimov says Orenburg went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Maxim Rudakov stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Player ratings

Renat Golybin runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Alexandre Jesus wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Orenburg know it.

Squad

The step up is real for Andrey Kasadzhikov

At 19 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

The terraces

Orenburg supporters have found a favourite in Miro

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Miro has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Squad

A row about effort at Orenburg

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Jordhy Thompson was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Market

Jhon Palacios asks to leave Orenburg

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Player ratings

Damián Puebla was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 32. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad

A muscle injury and 16 days out for Gedeon Guzina

The most common injury in the game and the most rushed back from. Orenburg will quote 16 days and will be careful with it, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Squad

Words exchanged at Orenburg

Bogdan Ovsyannikov 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.

Squad

Jordhy Thompson wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Orenburg know it.

The dugout

Jersson González gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match

Orenburg come up short against Dinamo Moscow

Dinamo Moscow left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout

Vladislav Tolstoy answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Squad

A row about effort at Orenburg

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Renat Golybin was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
