Match Report
R. Volgograd delivered its most emphatic performance of the season, thrashing Chelyabinsk 4-1 at Volgograd Arena. Eldarushev was the headline act with a brace, leading a ruthless attacking display against a side that had beaten R. Volgograd in each of their previous two meetings.
Eldarushev opened the scoring in the 14th minute before Troshechkin doubled the lead in the 32nd. Chelyabinsk pulled one back through Urvantsev in the 33rd, but Aliyev restored the two-goal cushion in the 41st, and Eldarushev added his second in the 60th to seal it.
The win lifts R. Volgograd to 5th with 9 points from five games and reverses a recent trend, having lost the previous two meetings 1-0 and 2-0. Chelyabinsk drops to 11th on 6 points, its usually solid defense undone on a rough night in Volgograd.
