Evgeny Lyulin: "Dzerzhinsky 'Khimik' takes three points in an away game and maintains the lead!"

      On August 10, 2026, at 11:46 Sports, on August 9, the Dzerzhinsk FC "Khimik" won an away match against "Rubin-2" 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. The speaker of the regional parliament noted the character of the victory, reliable defense, and the importance of maintaining leadership two rounds before the end of the first part of the tournament.

      "Today we played against a strong and tough opponent. In May, our meeting with 'Rubin-2' ended in a draw, so we understood that there would be no easy walk in Kazan. The match started under the rain, both teams acted actively, there was a lot of struggle, tackles, and fouls, so a significant part of the game in the first half took place in the center of the field," Evgeny Lyulin said.

      "At the 22nd minute, we took our chance. Roman Izotov won an aerial duel after a cross and accurately sent the ball into the corner with his head - 0:1. After conceding a goal, the hosts tried to seize the initiative, but our defense acted reliably and practically allowed nothing to be created at the goal," noted the speaker of the regional parliament.

      "After the break, 'Khimik' continued to play as the dominant side. We attacked a lot, the advantage was on our side, and 'Rubin-2' found it very difficult to reach our goal. At the 72nd minute, this pressure brought the second goal: Ivan Sutugin was the first to react to the rebound - 0:2!" wrote the chairman of the Legislative Assembly of the Nizhny Novgorod region.

      "It seemed that the match was completely under our control, but at the 81st minute, the hosts managed to pull one goal back. But we did not allow any nervous ending for the opponent. Already at the 86th minute, after a corner kick, Ruslan Gavrilov won the aerial duel and sent the third ball into the net of 'Rubin-2' with his head - 1:3. We quickly restored the two-goal advantage and calmly brought the match to victory," emphasized Evgeny Lyulin.

      "We are in first place in the table with two rounds to go until the end of the first part of the tournament. We need to maintain the advantage! The next week will be quite busy. On August 12, we start our performance in the Russian Cup - in Dzerzhinsk we will meet again with the well-known 'Nosta'. And on August 16, we will host 'Orenburg-2' at home. Two home games in a row. We are waiting for the fans at the stadium!" declared the president of FC "Khimik".
