Neftekhimik vs Chernomorets

Neftekhimik were ruthless at home on April 22, dismantling Chernomorets Novorossijsk 4-0 in round 30 of the FNL. The hosts dominated from the first whistle, outshooting their visitors nine to five on target in a controlled and clinical performance. Kokoev broke the deadlock in the 18th minute, and Neftekhimik kept the pressure on. Bober, set up by Musalov, doubled the lead in the 66th minute. Magomedov then turned provider, teeing up both Shiltsov (77') and Nikitin (79') to put the game firmly to bed. No red cards and only four yellow cards in total kept things disciplined throughout. The emphatic win pushes Neftekhimik further into comfortable mid-table territory, while it is another painful blow for Chernomorets Novorossijsk, who sit in the relegation zone and extended their miserable run away from home to nine matches without a win.
