Mamadou Maiga scored the first goal for FC Nizhny Novgorod in the 37th minute, but Shamar Nicholson got the equalizer for Spartak Moscow in the 66th minute But luckily in the 75th minute, they were able to complete the comback with a penalty goal by Quincy Promes. With 21 points in their last 10 matches Spartak Moscow should be reasonably happy with their performance, while in their last match, Krylya Sovetov recorded a 0-0 scoreless draw against Krasnodar. Neither Krylya Sovetov nor Krasnodar could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 21 and 7 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a 0 – 0 draw,. Krylya Sovetov looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 4 of their last 10.
