Chayka vs Chelyabinsk

FK Chayka pulled off a stunning late comeback to beat Chelyabinsk 2-1 in Round 26 of the FNL. Arseniy Filev's 90th-minute strike sealed a dramatic victory that few saw coming in Peschanokopskoye. Ramazan Gadzhimuradov had given the visitors the lead from the penalty spot in the 24th minute, and Chelyabinsk looked comfortable for most of the afternoon. But Artyom Sokolov pulled the hosts level in the 83rd minute before Filev completed the turnaround with virtually the last kick of normal time. It was a scrappy affair — Chayka picked up three yellow cards — but the result is all that matters when you're battling relegation. The win keeps them on 19 points in 17th, still deep in trouble but with renewed hope. For sixth-placed Chelyabinsk on 37 points, it's a frustrating slip in their push for the top five.
