Second straight defeat takes shine off FC Sochi
Whatever their earlier form, FC Sochi have now been beaten in two straight matches.
By any measure, 8 goals represents a respectable return from Zakhar Fedorov for FC Sochi. Successive blanks represent an unwelcome turn for the hosts in the final third. Much of the division trails the hosts, whose 32 points have brought them third place.
With 6 goals, Ilya Azyavin has become a significant attacking presence for Shinnik Yaroslavl. Unable to shut out any of their last 5 opponents, the visitors remain vulnerable at the back. Of the last 5 encounters between FC Sochi and Shinnik Yaroslavl, 3 ended without a winner.
