Orenburg team failed to earn points in the next round of the championship. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The team had drawn in their previous two matches, but this time suffered their first defeat. The players, led by Vladimir Slishkovich, could not achieve success in the away game against the Baltika team.
Various opinions were expressed about what hindered Orenburg's good performance in this match held in Kaliningrad. According to the match protocol, the Baltika team won 3:2 against Orenburg.
Baltika opened the scoring in the first half, and in the second half, the hosts strengthened their lead. Although Orenburg players scored twice in response, they ultimately lost.
The players' performances were evaluated individually. For example, Orenburg defender Georgiy Zotov was rated 3.5 points.
He did not act actively enough on his flank and caused a penalty for the opponent in one situation. Additionally, forward Stepan Oganesyan failed to capitalize on a good opportunity in the first half.
He did not manage to take a single accurate shot on the opponent's goal during the 45 minutes. Instead, the player who came on in his place scored a beautiful goal from a free kick.
Another player, Anri Chichinadze, was also rated 3 points. Although he won many duels as a central defender, he made positional mistakes and lost numerous balls.
This negatively affected the team's defense. Overall, the Orenburg team did not fully accomplish the tasks set for them in this match.
The team needs to address shortcomings to improve results in upcoming matches.
