Ansor Khabibov scores twice — 8.06

Two goals and a mark of 8.06 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Zaurbek Ramonov due for a Ryazan medical

Everything agreed with Alania, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Mustafo Abdumannopov signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Mustafo Abdumannopov commits to Ryazan for another 4 years.

A falling-out at Ryazan

David Sangaré and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A move Andrey Dernov would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Andrey Dernov is living that version at Ryazan, and it tends to show in the first month.

A row about effort at Ryazan

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Mustafo Abdumannopov was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match8 Aug 2026

Ryazan find a way past Kvant

Kvant made Ryazan work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Gavriil Klimov steps up from the Ryazan academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Gavriil Klimov 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.

One of our own: Arseniy Guzhvin joins the Ryazan first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Arseniy Guzhvin is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Islamzhan Nasyrov runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 38. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Islamzhan Nasyrov signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Islamzhan Nasyrov and Ryazan agree another 4 years.

Words exchanged at Ryazan

David Sangaré 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.

Door shut on Redvan Osmanov

Ryazan asked and Sevastopol 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 terraces3 Aug 2026

One of their own: Ansor Khabibov

He is 23 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.

Match1 Aug 2026

Ryazan see off Rotor 2

Three points for Ryazan, 1‑0 the final word against Rotor 2 in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Still no ink between Ryazan and Islamzhan Nasyrov

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

The afternoon belonged to Nikita Pogrebnev

A mark of 7.75, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Market3 Aug 2026

Nobody at Ryazan has picked up the phone to Nikita Pogrebnev

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.
