FC Sheriff had one of the most difficult matches this part of the season. The away match against Zaria was equal. 

Roberto Bordin's team was organized and aggressive, pressing on the whole field. The attack ended on 11th minute with a shot by Eugene Oancea right to the low corner. 

Zaria was good in attack before the break but had no shots on the goal. Maxim Mikhalev made the most dangerous shot with his head from seven meters, but it went higher the goal. Sheriff had more dangerous shots. However, the score did not change before the break.  

In the second 45 the weather changed. First 10 minutes were under control of our team. Balima and Ricardinho had their chances but they failed. Zaria player Maxim Mikhalev made a penalty shot but again it was high. 

On 81st minute Brezovec found Ricardinho who stopped and then shot right into the goal. Zaria tried to press but Alexei Koselev made saves in the right time. At the end of the match Cyrille Bayala could score third one but he was not precise enough. 

After another victory Sheriff takes the first position. Now the players will get their deserved vacation and relax.
