Lyulin: "The victory of 'Khimik' over 'Izhevsk' allows us to continue moving towards the main goal of the season."

      On June 14, the Dzerzhinsk FC "Khimik" won against FC "Izhevsk" at home with a score of 3:1. This was reported in his MAX channel by the chairman of the Legislative Assembly of the Nizhny Novgorod region, president of FC "Khimik" Evgeny Lyulin.

      "Another three points in the Dzerzhinsk club's piggy bank! The first half saw a fairly equal contest. 'Izhevsk' tried to impose their football, while our guys were looking for opportunities up front. Nevertheless, the class of 'Khimik' showed. After one of the attacks, the team earned a penalty, which Ilya Gruznov confidently converted - 1:0. We went into halftime with a minimal advantage, but with the understanding that the game was under our control," noted Evgeny Lyulin.

      "In the second half, the scenario of the match continued to unfold in favor of 'Khimik'. In the 53rd minute, after another attack on the guests' goal, another penalty was awarded. Roman Izotov approached the ball and confidently increased the lead - 2:0. After the second conceded goal, 'Izhevsk' stepped up, began to control the ball more and approached our goal more often. But our guys worked reliably in defense and did not allow the opponent to get back into the game. Then came perhaps the most beautiful episode of the match. In the 76th minute, Ilya Gruznov scored a double, netting a magnificent goal from the air into the near 'nine'. This goal could well contend for the title of the best goal of the round. Unfortunately, we couldn't keep our goal intact. Already at the end of the match, 'Izhevsk' managed to score a consolation goal and set the final score - 3:1. Nevertheless, this is another important victory for 'Khimik'. It allows us to maintain our lead in the championship and continue moving towards the main goal of the season," said the speaker of the regional parliament.

      "Our main pursuer, Tomsk 'KDV', is five points behind us. On June 21, we play away against 'Krylya Sovetov-2'. Forward, 'Khimik'!" concluded Evgeny Lyulin.
