Chelyabinsk vs Torpedo Moskva

Torpedo Moscow ran out comfortable 4-0 winners at Chelyabinsk, dominating despite seeing just 37% of the ball. Chelyabinsk's best spell came before the break, but two shots on target all game told the real story of a one-sided afternoon. Gleb Shevchenko opened the scoring in the 26th minute, set up by Ilya Berkovskiy. The game was put out of reach when Dmitriy Tsypchenko scored twice in two minutes, in the 54th and 56th, before a stoppage-time penalty in the 89th completed the rout. Both sides picked up three yellow cards apiece. The win lifts Torpedo Moscow up the table and offers real momentum heading into the next round. For Chelyabinsk it's a second straight thumping, coming a week after a 4-1 defeat at Rotor, and their defensive issues are becoming hard to ignore this early in the FNL season.
