The match of the Higher League mini-football ended in a mass brawl in Nizhny Novgorod.

      The third match of the semifinals of the Russian Futsal Championship's Higher League between "Torpedo-2" (Nizhny Novgorod region) and TZMS (Tula) on May 15 ended in a mass brawl on the court. The game, which was played with a high degree of tension, ended in a draw in regular time - 1:1. In extra time, the Nizhny Novgorod team managed to snatch victory by scoring two goals - Igor Zelentsov and Maxim Mukhin were the scorers. However, immediately after the final whistle, an unpleasant incident occurred. The players of the Tula team expressed their dissatisfaction with the match result and started a conflict with their opponents. The situation quickly spiraled out of control, and a mass brawl broke out on the field. The security service had to intervene to separate the participants of the scuffle. As a result, the referee sent off two players from each team, issuing them red cards. It is possible that both teams face additional penalties. Already today, May 16, the fourth match of the best-of-three series (6+) will take place at the "Meshchersky" Sports Complex. Currently, "Torpedo-2" leads the series with a score of 2:1. Let us remind you that the futsal players of "Torpedo" finished the season in the Super League, losing to "Ukhta" in the decisive quarterfinal match.
