Maxim Konyaev hands in a written request

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 8 matches without defeat is a foundation Sevastopol did not have in the autumn.

Yury Maximov runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Words at Sevastopol training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Artem Stepanovich 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.

Ninety minutes of Dmitry Starodub at his very best
Marked 8.10. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Sevastopol.

Honours even between Sevastopol and Rubin Yalta
1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Vladislav Kucheiko knocks on the manager's door
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Sevastopol, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Bekkhan Aliev has become a man the manager trusts
Nobody at Sevastopol 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.

Rostislav Tyschenko left out for tactical reasons at Sevastopol
The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.
In brief
