Player ratings

Jersson González beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 36. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

88 days out for Alexey Tataev after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Orenburg will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

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.

Match

7 matches without a win for Orenburg

The run now stands at 7, and the questions being asked around Orenburg are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Tempers go at Orenburg

Robert Mejía was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Stepan Cherednikov gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Stepan Cherednikov has just signed for Orenburg, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad

Gedeon Guzina falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match

Orenburg come up short against Arsenal Tula

Arsenal Tula left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Bogdan Ovsyannikov

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

In brief
