Tempers go at Akhmat
Brian Mansilla 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.

Nobody could get near Brian Mansilla
Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

No hiding place for Giorgi Shelia
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Giorgi Shelia, and the manager let it.

A masterclass from Ousmane Ndong
Marked 8.71 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Egas Cacintura in the eights
A performance of 8.28 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Egas Cacintura finally opens his account
He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Akhmat have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.
