      Pari NN's footballers suffered a defeat to Moscow's Spartak in the 10th round of the Russian championship, losing away 0–3.

      Pari Nizhny Novgorod's head coach Aleksey Shpilevsky, after the setback in the previous round against Akhmat, made changes to the starting lineup. From the first minutes young players got their chance – defender Yury Koledin and midfielder Yegor Smelov. The team took the field in the following lineup: Medvedev – Koledin, Shoshtarich, Karic, Kakkoev, Shnaptsev – Maiga, Smelov, Ivlev – Lesovoy, Boselli, Olusegun.

      The start of the match proved difficult for the visitors. Spartak set a high tempo from the opening seconds and forced the opponents to play on their half. The hosts actively used the flanks and as early as the third minute created a chance: Marquinhos failed to connect with a cross from the right.

      The Nizhny Novgorod side could not withstand the Moscow team's onslaught. After a throw-in, Ugalde found himself unmarked in the penalty area and struck the target accurately – 1–0. The conceded goal shook Pari NN. Olusegun was the first to test Maksimenko's reflexes with a long-range shot, and then Boselli grew more active, threatening the goal twice – first with a header from Koledin's cross, then from a corner.

      By the middle of the half the visitors had organized their pressing and evened the game, but only briefly. In the 36th minute Zhedson won an aerial duel against Koledin and doubled Spartak's lead. The teams went into the break with that score.

      After the interval Pari NN failed to create serious threats. The hosts continued to attack: Marquinhos and Ugalde had chances to score. Soon Zhedson completed his brace, making it 3–0 with a powerful long-range strike. Shpilevsky tried to revive the game with substitutions: Pigas, Ermakov, Tsarukyan, Grulev and Sefas came on. However, the changes did not alter the course of the match – the Nizhny Novgorod side could not even score a consolation goal.

      Pari NN lost 0–3 and in the next round will host Spartak at home on October 1.
