Match Report
The match was effectively decided in a devastating 20-minute spell during the first half.

After the interval, Pobeda Junior showed no mercy. Three more goals extended the tally to seven, including a fine solo effort from winger Artyom Ivanov and a header from substitute Dmitri Kozlov. Izberbash’s best chance came from a free kick in the 55th minute, but the effort sailed wide.

The midfield trio of Sergei Petrov, Ivan Smirnov, and Nikolai Popov controlled the tempo and completed over 85% of their passes. Izberbash, by contrast, could not cope with the pace and movement and managed only two shots on target all match.
