39 goals for Mark Isong

The match ball belongs to Mark Isong, whose 39 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Ondřej Sprinz takes the match ball home

29 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Match22 Aug 2026

No mercy from Spartak Nalchik

Chaika M will want this one forgotten quickly: 92‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Spartak Nalchik were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A day Soslan Lysenko will not forget

12 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Squad24 Aug 2026

6 goals for Alan Khachirov

The match ball belongs to Alan Khachirov, whose 6 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Match19 Aug 2026

The small margins put Spartak Nalchik out

Out, 0‑1 to Tver, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Mark Isong, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 9.74

A mark of 9.74 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

A brace, and Renat Balkizov takes the afternoon — 8.34

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Renat Balkizov provided it, and the 8.34 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Market24 Aug 2026

Konstantin Kotov asks to leave Spartak Nalchik

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

A defender's goal wins it for Spartak Nalchik — 7.90

1 for Islam Pekov, marked 7.90, 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.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Alexandr Makiev turns down Spartak Nalchik

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: another club keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Spartak Nalchik

Alan Khachirov 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.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Mark Isong stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Mark Isong and Spartak Nalchik agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market17 Aug 2026

Business is business: Amirkhan Selyaev goes

PSK Pervorechenskoe paid $41.0K and Spartak Nalchik took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Rodina tell Spartak Nalchik: Maxim Danilin is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Ondřej Sprinz 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.

Match15 Aug 2026

Spartak Nalchik find a way past Sochi 2

Sochi 2 made Spartak Nalchik work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Market17 Aug 2026

A stepping stone, not a home, for Matyáš Bitta

He is doing his job and he is not settling. Spartak Nalchik were supposed to be a step up in his own reckoning, and his own reckoning has been adjusted since he arrived.

Market10 Aug 2026

Amirkhan Selyaev agrees terms with PSK Pervorechenskoe

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Spartak Nalchik people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Market10 Aug 2026

Kantemir Bolotokov 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 Spartak Nalchik can pretend not to have heard.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Matyáš Bitta signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Matyáš Bitta and Spartak Nalchik agree another 3 years.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Amur Khatsukov did the work nobody counts — 6.92

15 combined actions and 6.92. The job he did is the one that shows up as other people looking good, and the only reliable way to notice it is to watch what happens on the afternoons he is missing.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Spartak Nalchik

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

Match8 Aug 2026

Spartak Nalchik come up short against Rubin Yalta

Rubin Yalta left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Dinamo Bryansk tell Spartak Nalchik: Artem Karpekin is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Spartak Nalchik

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

Market10 Aug 2026

Aleksandr Korsakov steps up from the Spartak Nalchik academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Aleksandr Korsakov 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.

Soslan Lysenko signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Soslan Lysenko and Spartak Nalchik agree another 4 years.

Words exchanged at Spartak Nalchik

Alan Khachirov 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.

Market3 Aug 2026

PSK Pervorechenskoe join the queue for Amirkhan Selyaev

Add another name to the list: PSK Pervorechenskoe have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Amirkhan Selyaev. The answer from Spartak Nalchik has not changed — yet.

Market3 Aug 2026

Talks stall between Spartak Nalchik and Khakim Kadykoev

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Market3 Aug 2026

The clock runs on Soslan Lysenko's contract

49 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Squad3 Aug 2026

David Sarbashev 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.

Match1 Aug 2026

Islam Tlupov rescues a point for Spartak Nalchik

It needed Islam Tlupov to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Sevastopol, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Miroslav Skvortsov on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Miroslav Skvortsov after the 1‑1 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.
