Both of them Amur Kalmykov's — 8.33

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.33, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Daniel Sappa keeps Spartak Kostroma in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Daniel Sappa 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 Spartak Kostroma this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Đorđe Pantelić 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.

Match26 Sep 2026

Spartak Kostroma see off Fakel

Three points for Spartak Kostroma, 2‑1 the final word against Fakel in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad28 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Bartu Göçmen

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Bartu Göçmen, and the manager let it.

Nobody could get near Nikita Demchenko

Successful dribbles: 14. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market28 Sep 2026

David Khubaev placed on the list

Spartak Kostroma have made David Khubaev available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

Market28 Sep 2026

The Amur Kalmykov story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Amur Kalmykov signs something — a contract at Spartak Kostroma or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

The terraces14 Sep 2026

The boos come down from three sides

“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 8 of the 30 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

Bartu Göçmen 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 Spartak Kostroma this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Amur Kalmykov leaves them behind him

Shots: 11. Goals: none. The chances were there and they were good ones, and they went into the stand, the goalkeeper's arms and the side netting in roughly that order.

Squad14 Sep 2026

The manager makes an example of Amur Kalmykov

“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.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Nikita Demchenko runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match12 Sep 2026

Sokol take the points off Spartak Kostroma

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Spartak Kostroma pick somebody else ahead of David Khubaev

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Market14 Sep 2026

Daniel Sappa linked with a move away

The name of Daniel Sappa keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Spartak Kostroma say nothing, which says plenty.

Arshak Koryan scores twice — 8.12

Two goals and a mark of 8.12 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Gennady Kiselev puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Spartak Kostroma, and it is not being withdrawn.

Daniel Sappa 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 Spartak Kostroma this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Rafael Assis 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.

Match29 Aug 2026

Arshak Koryan answers KAMAZ immediately

Conceding is one thing; the response is what tells you about a dressing room. Arshak Koryan had Spartak Kostroma level again within 4 minutes, and KAMAZ never got to play with a lead at all.

Squad31 Aug 2026

No hiding place for David Khubaev

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to David Khubaev, and the manager let it.

Market31 Aug 2026

Still no ink between Spartak Kostroma and Igor Woś

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Spartak Kostroma, another week without a signature from Igor Woś.

Match29 Aug 2026

Arshak Koryan rescues a point for Spartak Kostroma

It needed Arshak Koryan to find the net to bring anything home at all: 2‑2 against KAMAZ, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Squad31 Aug 2026

5 new faces, and Spartak Kostroma are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.
