Shinnik Yaroslavl vs Kamaz

Shinnik Yaroslavl and KAMAZ played out a bruising goalless draw at Shinnik Stadium on Saturday in Round 27 of the PARI First League. Despite racking up 21 shots and a combined xG of 2.88, neither side could find the finishing touch in a match that produced seven yellow cards and five minutes of added time. The chances were there for both teams. Ilya Porokhov went closest for the hosts with a diving effort, while David Karayev struck a half-volley that sailed wide for the visitors. Referee Yefim Rubtsov was kept busy throughout, brandishing cards in a tetchy contest that never quite caught fire in the final third. The stalemate stretches Shinnik's drawing streak to four consecutive matches, leaving them stuck in 13th on 33 points. KAMAZ stay sixth with 39 points but will rue a missed chance to close the gap on the promotion places.
