Double-edged game. This is how the 97th head-to-head match between the eternal rivals, FC Zimbru and FC Sherrif can be described.

Before the match, the coach warned that regardless of where his team was in the standings, his team would not sit in defence in the match with the leader. And so it happened. The hosts answered to any attack of the wards of Zoran Zekic with their attack.

 

It is worth noting that the attacks of FC Sheriff were sharper, more meaningful and well thought out. Only in the first 15 minutes the ball, at least three times, had to fly into the goal of Chisinau. There wasn’t enough agility in front of the goal. And when the shell was in the net after the shot of Robert Tambe, the referees awarded the "offside" position. The goal came on the 26th minute. The sweeping attack of our boys ended in a shot to the corner from 20 meters by Yuri Kendysh.

 

The second half, Zimbru began more actively. After the first 7 minutes, the score could become equal. The ball flew above the goal. The return ball came after a mistake in the center of our defense. The shot of Dan Pisle to the far corner was from the category of "not taken" ..

 

And when it seemed that the match headed for a draw, Yuri Kendysh entered the stage. Having received the ball near the penalty area, the Belarusian midfielder dealt with two defenders and easily outplayed the goalkeeper of the hosts.

 

A difficult away victory in the real Moldavian classico, with plenty of moments at the goal of both teams.
