Spartak Moscow Women crush Yenisey Krasnoyarsk 5‑0 in Russian Premier League
Spartak Moscow Women delivered a dominant performance at the Spartak Academy Stadium, thrashing Yenisey Krasnoyarsk Women 5‑0 in the Russian Women’s Premier League. The hosts were in irresistible form from the first whistle, scoring three goals in the opening half and adding two more after the break.
Match Overview
Spartak Moscow came into this fixture looking to cement their place at the top of the table, and they wasted no time asserting their authority. The midfield trio of Anastasia Kuznetsova, Yulia Shlyapina, and captain Irina Podshibyakina controlled the tempo, while the forward line showed ruthless efficiency.
Yenisey, who had been competitive in recent weeks, simply had no answer to Spartak’s pace and movement. The visiting defence was carved open time and again, leaving goalkeeper Natalia Silaeva with a busy evening.
Goal Rush
- 12' – 1‑0: Winger Elizaveta Lazareva cut inside from the left and curled a beautiful shot into the far corner.
- 28' – 2‑0: Striker Polina Yakovleva tapped home from a rebounded free‑kick.
- 41' – 3‑0: Kuznetsova unleashed a thunderous volley from the edge of the box.
- 55' – 4‑0: Substitute Anna Chernova headed in a corner.
- 73' – 5‑0: Yakovleva completed her brace with a neat finish after a one‑two with Lazareva.
Tactical Analysis
Spartak Moscow pressed high and forced Yenisey into repeated errors in possession. The full‑backs pushed up high, turning the match into an attacking drill. Yenisey tried to play through midfield but lacked the composure to build sustained attacks; their only shot on target came from a speculative long‑range effort in the 68th minute.
Table Impact
The comprehensive victory keeps Spartak Moscow Women in close contention for the league title, while Yenisey remain in the lower half of the Russian Women’s Premier League standings, now with a negative goal difference.
