First Half Dominance
From the opening whistle, Avangard Kursk seized control of the midfield and pinned Kvant Obninsk deep inside their own half.

A sweeping move down the right flank ended with a low cross that was turned home by Avangard’s leading scorer, giving the home side a deserved lead.
Kvant Obninsk struggled to find any rhythm, with their attempts to build from the back repeatedly disrupted by Avangard’s aggressive forwards. By the half-hour mark, the Kursk side doubled their advantage through a powerful header from a corner kick, leaving the visitors facing an uphill battle before the interval.
Second Half Clinch

The away side had no answer to the pace and precision of their opponents. The final goal arrived in the 74th minute, a long‑range strike that curled into the top corner, capping a statement performance.
Kvant Obninsk’s best chance came in the 81st minute, but a fine save from the Avangard goalkeeper preserved the clean sheet. The 4-0 scoreline accurately reflected the gulf in quality on the day.
