Match31 Oct 2026

Neftyanik tear Sevastopol apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 4‑1 against Sevastopol, and it could have been more.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Luka Maslov takes the match ball home

3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

Rodrigo Bareiro, 33, rolls back the years — 8.28

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.28 at 33, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Boardroom2 Nov 2026

The Neftyanik board want somebody sold

The instruction has come from upstairs rather than from the dugout, which is the version of this conversation no manager enjoys. Somebody in that squad is now available whether the man who picks the team thinks so or not.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

Luka Maslov was on a different afternoon to everybody else

9.75. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Valentin Gordeev 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.

Boardroom2 Nov 2026

Wages swallow 129% of the Neftyanik income

Every club pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time it has been tried.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Words exchanged at Neftyanik

Alimsultan Sultanaliev 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.

Squad2 Nov 2026

A place in the month's best eleven for Luka Maslov

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Luka Maslov has come out of that comparison in the side, and Neftyanik have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

Market12 Oct 2026

Only the photograph left for Gennady Aliyev

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Gennady Aliyev will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Neftyanik the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Words exchanged at Neftyanik

Elías Pérez 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.

Squad12 Oct 2026

A row about effort at Neftyanik

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

Squad12 Oct 2026

Neftyanik count the cost of losing Alimsultan Sultanaliev

28 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Market12 Oct 2026

Valery Tsyganov told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Valery Tsyganov has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Neftyanik.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

Neftyanik keep their word to Kirill Roschin

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Ignat Polischuk: “I am not a substitute”

“I have done everything asked of me in training and it has not changed a thing on a Saturday.” The most familiar complaint in football, and one Neftyanik will have to answer with minutes or with a transfer.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

Yuri Alyoshin 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.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

Gleb Kalinichev gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Gleb Kalinichev is on it.
