A defender's goal wins it for Ufa — 7.78
1 for Vladislav Kamilov, marked 7.78, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Eyes on Ilja Agapov again
The phone has started ringing about Ilja Agapov again, and this time the name on the line is Baltika. Ufa are listening politely and promising nothing.

The paperwork begins on Patrik Vydra
A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Ufa have done the hard part with Sparta Prague, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Vladislav Kamilov in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Ufa this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Yefim Belov steps up from the Ufa academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Yefim Belov 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.

Ufa promote Kirill Shatov from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Kirill Shatov has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

One of our own: Lev Shestakov joins the Ufa first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Lev Shestakov is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Ufa get the job done against KAMAZ
A 1‑0 win over KAMAZ, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
