No mercy from Amkar
Khimik will want this one forgotten quickly: 4‑1, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Amkar were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.
Player ratings10 Aug 2026
A brace, and Alexandr Dolgov takes the afternoon — 9.18
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Alexandr Dolgov provided it, and the 9.18 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Vladlen Obukhov steps up from the Amkar academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Vladlen Obukhov has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

One of our own: Ivan Artemyev joins the Amkar first team
