Dinamo Kirov say no — this time

No sign of nerves from Stefan Kalinov at 21 — 7.98
The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Stefan Kalinov did not need any: 7.98, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

6 goals in one match, Ismail Dibirov on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Dinamo Kirov and Alania.
