The game between FC Energy and the team “Nadejda’ from Nogisk has been waiting with an interest. Both teams are struggling for the title and showed the bright football. The squad of the guests became much more stronger this season and the Salekh Abdulkayumov became a head coach. We didn’t see in Nadejda squad experienced defender Marina Burakova (ex-captain of Russian national team) who was at the stadium as a spectator.
According to the current table all the teams are going very close to each other so today’s opponents struggled only for the victory. Actually the Voronezh team tried to win in every game.  The match started with hosts attacks. On the 9^th minute Elena Terekhova appeared alone near Svetlana Petko’s gates but was not precise. At the middle of the 1^st half Moscow players made a game equal and played more often near the Energy’s gates. But real threat to the gates of Nadejda Tshegoleva they didn’t create. And the goal on the 28^th minute was like cold shower for the guests. It was a little bit strange: Elena Danilova made a corner kick and from “Nadejda”’s goalkeeper the ball left in the target.
There were a lot of struggle and no good technical football. Probably it is not a big surprise in such games. In guests squad the new players appeared who had to increase the attacks force of the team. Ivan Saenko also changed Gorbacheva to Bosikova. And the game was equal but at the end the advantage of Voronezh team became real. The final 15 minutes were the best.  On the 77^th ninute Elena Danilova after consultations with head coach scored again and at the last minute Natalia Zinchenko deceived Svetlana Petko and scored to the empty gates. Congratulations!

Ivan Saenko, the head coach of FC Energy:
  - I suppose that the real winners of the games are the coaches. There are a lot of great players now  but without the professional coach they can do nothing. Euro-04 shows it very well. And we can see it today too
  - “Nadejda” used the tactics of fouls. Were you ready for this?
  -  Unfortunately this team is the most rude in Russia. I am sure that this unfootball things the referee had to stop more stickt.  For example our Danilova was simply beated.
   - Are you satisfied with Zinchenko’s way of playing today?
  - There were complicated injures which Natalia had last year. She just became better when went on to Ukranian national duty. I suppose that she got some injures there but she kept a silence.
 - What do you think about the chances of the team in the 1^st round of UEFA Women’s Cup?
 - I think that Lithuania has a good team. We played Vilnius’s team some years ago and they showed good  football. Azerbaijan will rent some players from Eastern Europe probably Russia. About Macedonia I don’t know anything yet.
