Cherchesov: Orenburg's artificial pitch gave an advantage to the hosts

“Akhmat” football club head coach Stanislav Cherchesov commented on the home stadium of the “Orenburg” team regarding the artificial turf. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

According to him, the stadium pitch is in good condition and this creates a slight advantage for “Orenburg,” which regularly trains on its home ground. This was reported by the “Akhmat” press service.

For reference, in the second round of the group stage of the Russian Cup Fonbet competition, “Akhmat” lost 1:2 away to the “Orenburg” team. The decisive goal of the match was scored in added time.

This goal was scored by Vladislav Kamilov, who previously played for “Akhmat.” This match was the second encounter for Cherchesov after returning to Grozny.

Thus, “Orenburg” achieved an important victory by effectively utilizing their home ground. “Akhmat,” on the other hand, needs to show better results in the upcoming matches to advance to the next stage of the competition.

According to experts, playing on artificial pitches gives the home team a certain degree of advantage.
