Player ratings

A brace, and Dilan Ortíz takes the afternoon — 9.00

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Dilan Ortíz provided it, and the 9.00 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Market

Alexandr Lukjanov hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Ufa can pretend not to have heard.

Market

AEL Larisa expected to open talks for Dilan Ortíz

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Ufa will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Match

Two points walk out of the ground

Level with 90 minutes on the clock, after an afternoon Ufa had all but put away. SKA Khabarovsk will call it a point earned; the home dressing room will call it two given away, and both of them are right.

Match

Ufa and SKA Khabarovsk take a point apiece

It finished 2‑2, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Transfer targets

Ufa try to borrow Sotiris Kontouris

Panathinaikos have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Konstantin Troyanov

“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.

Squad

Tempers go at Ufa

Bo Geens 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.

The dugout

Ivan Lomaev asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

The terraces

Ufa sell a favourite for $570.0K

The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Ilja Agapov was one of the reasons people came, and $570.0K does not replace that by itself.

Market

David Ozmanov’s move to Torpedo Vladimir falls through

The deal that would have taken David Ozmanov to Torpedo Vladimir has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Ufa with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Market

Chertanovo come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Ufa did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Words exchanged at Ufa

Vladislav Kamilov 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.

Market

Ufa sell Ilja Agapov for $570.0K

Ilja Agapov has left for Lokomotiv Moscow in a $570.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Match

Ufa find a way past Chernomorets

Chernomorets made Ufa work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad

Artem Polesovschikov out for 35 days

The medical room confirms 35 days on the sidelines for Artem Polesovschikov, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Player ratings

Zalimkhan Yusupov runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

Nobody on the pitch touched Danil Lipovoy

7.87, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Ufa had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Ivan Lomaev stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Ivan Lomaev and Ufa agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Home is on Dilan Ortíz's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Ufa are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Squad

Tempers go at Ufa

Vladislav Kamilov 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Magomed Yakuev

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Still no ink between Ufa and Filip Mrzljak

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

Market

Nobody at Ufa has picked up the phone to Dilan Ortíz

49 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Mathias Fjørtoft Løvik is in the works

Ufa have made the call to Trabzonspor. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Squad

Ufa are still strangers to each other

6 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Vladislav Erofeev was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Ufa dressing room was either.

In brief
