In less than a minute “Anji” were not able to convert a great chance. Sobolev came one to one with Tomic but after Sobolev’s shot the ball missed the goalpost. After that the teams started being more careful and the ball was in the center of the field more often. On 45th minute Ricardinho disturbed the peace and came one to one with Kerzhakov. But the goalkeeper made a save.
In the second half the “yellow-blacks” increased their attack. On 53rd minute “Sheriff” opened the scoring. Right flank attack was finished by Ismail Isa who was assisted by Benjamin Balima.
