Amet Dugu leads the rout of Legion
5‑0, and Amet Dugu took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Sevastopol tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Redvan Osmanov scores twice — 8.75
Two goals and a mark of 8.75 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

A day Amet Dugu will not forget
3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Artem Yermakov could not have asked for more on his first appearance — 7.28
Debuts are survived rather than enjoyed. This one was enjoyed: 7.28, 0 goals, and a manager already being asked whether he starts again next week.

Maxim Isaev, 21, steals the show — 8.09
Marked 8.09 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Fee done, terms next for Ilja Gruznov
Sevastopol and Khimik have settled on $130.0K. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

Tempers go at Sevastopol
Artem Stepanovich 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.

Door shut on Aziz Gaziev
Sevastopol asked and Dinamo St Petersburg said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.
The terraces10 Aug 2026
One of their own: Maxim Isaev
He is 21 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.
