Ufa vs Leningradets

Ufa opened their 2026/27 PARI First League campaign in style, cruising to a 3-0 home win over newly promoted Leningradets in a match that was effectively decided before the break. Shamil Isaev got things going in the 19th minute, finishing calmly to put the hosts in front. The game turned sharply in Ufa's favour when Matvey Pershin was dismissed for Leningradets in the 38th minute — and the ten men were punished almost immediately, as Daniil Rodin turned the ball into his own net just two minutes later to make it 2-0. Artur Gilyazetdinov added a well-deserved third in the 84th minute to cap a thoroughly comfortable afternoon at Neftyanik Stadium. For Ufa, it's maximum points and an early statement of intent. For Leningradets, back in the second tier after winning promotion, this was a bruising FNL welcome — but 37 rounds remain to put things right.
