KAMAZ vs Sokol Saratov

Sokol Saratov claimed a 1-0 away victory at Kamaz in round 34 of Russia's PARI First League, ending a hard-fought contest in Naberezhnye Chelny with a single second-half strike. Vladislav Shpitalny was the match-winner, tucking away the only goal in the 64th minute to give Sokol the lead they would not relinquish. Discipline became a talking point as the game wore on: Kamaz collected four yellow cards in total, with Artur Anisimov and Ruslan Ayukin both booked deep in stoppage time, while Sokol received three cautions of their own, including late bookings for Amir Kahrimanovich and Timur Kraykov. The three points are a timely reward for Sokol Saratov as the campaign approaches its conclusion, while Kamaz are left to rue a frustrating home defeat with little time left to make amends.
