UFA, 8 April 2019. /Bashinform News Agency, Natalia Ovcharuk/ translated by Tatiana Aksyutina/.

For the match of the 22nd round of the Russian Premier League, the head coach of Ufa fielded Nikitin, Bezdenezhnykh, and Vanek in the regular starting spot. Lovro Bizyak appeared in the center from the first minutes of the meeting. This scheme was lucky for the Bashkir team: in the middle of the first half, Bojan Jokic successfully passed the ball to Igbun, who broke the guests' defense and scored the sixth goal in the current championship - 1: 0.

Valery Karpin’s players had a couple of chances to hit the net of Alexander Belenov, but the deliberate strikes of Roman Eremenko did not end with a goal.

After the break, the Neftyanik stadium (about 10 thousand fans came to see the game) began to observe replacements from their rivals' coaches. Vanek was replaced by Paurevich, Bizyak – by Wombergar as part of the Ufa team. The last change from the hosts was in the 84th minute. Bezdenezhnykh left the field, his place was taken by Azer Aliyev. Among Rostovites the first replacement was forced due to Popov’s injury. In the middle of the second half, Ionov and Sigurdarson replaced Zuev and Shomurodov to help the team.

FC Ufa beat Rostov for the first time in history and for the first time in 2019 scored three victory points - 1: 0. Moreover, it left the relegation-threatened side and occupies the 14th place in the RPL standings.

The Bashkir team will hold the next road game with the Enisei on April 13.
