Nizhny Novgorod's "Volna" maintained its leadership in the 2nd league after the first round.
On Saturday, the matches of the 15th round in the 3rd group of the second league of the Russian football championship took place, completing the first round of the competition. Before the three-week break, in Zavolzhye, "Volna" and Saransk's "Shumbrat" delivered perhaps one of the most intriguing matches of the season. In the 15th minute, the leader of the Nizhny Novgorod attack, Gocha Gogrichiani, opened the scoring, to which the guests quickly responded—1:1. At the beginning of the second half, "Shumbrat" even took the lead, but in the 62nd minute, Gogrichiani equalized the score. In the 84th minute, after a series of attacks, the Volga team regained the lead with an accurate shot from Nikita Chugunov. Unfortunately, the players under Andrey Proshin could not secure the victory. Just before the final whistle, the opponent managed to equalize the score due to intense pressure—3:3.
The quartet of leaders in the 3rd group: "Volna"—40 points, "Spartak" (Tambov)—40, "Shumbrat"—32, "Metallurg" (Lipetsk)—30.
The next match for "Volna" will be held on July 25 in Moscow against "Strogino."
