There were no usual starters for FC Energy Natalia Zinchenko, Natalia Zhdanova, Elena Danilova  at the pitch in the first game. Irina Zvarich and Elena Gorbacheva played the forwards today, Elena Lamtyugina and Natalia Emelianova played flange midfielders, Daria Apanashenko and Elena Terekhova were in the center, in defense – Olga Mishanskaya, Vera Strukova, Jenny Benson and Liudmila Korobitzina.  Moving fast the players of the Russian team could start to score from the very beginning – Natalia Emelianova and young Elena Gorbacheva were close to beat the target. Only on the11th minute Irina Zvarich after the great pass from Ukranian Daria Apanashenko scored with her head. Then there was a rude foul against Natalia Emelianova and otherwise Irina Zvarich smashed the ball in  the referee showed for the penalty kick. Jenny Benson did it excellent without any chances for Macedonian goalkeeper. She did it again five minutes later after the same foul against Irina Zvarich On the 25th minute the fine moment to score was lost by Elena Lamtyugina. He found herself at the best position but suddenly decided to use her left leg for the kick – that was her mistake because the ball was easy for the Macedonian goalkeeper. At the first half Daria Apanashenko and Elena Gorbacheva  were precise. The first one went forward herself and the second goal was assisted by experienced Liudmila Korobitzina. At the end Jenny Benson got a great opportunity to score after going through 5 defenders of Macedonia but the goalkeeper of Sciponiat played safely.
The second half finished with the great advantage of the Voronezh team. There was only one moment of FC Sciponiat when there was a free kick 20 metres from the gates. But Lemana latipovic’ ball went behind. There was one more penalty kick in the 2nd half which was brilliantly done by Benson.
The foreign specialists marked the game of Daria Apanashenko (1986) very high.
