 Very persistent situation in the final round of the strongest Russian teams could been seen in every game.  “Lada” from Toliatti who lost the previous game against “Rossianka” could not loose the points again. And FC “Energy” team needed only the victory.   So everyone tried to win. The spectators didn’t see the open football because the physical conditions of the players were not good. And more – the hosts had difficult problems with the squad. You can see: Natalia Zhdanova missed the game because of the red card, Elena Lamtyugina, Sabrina Rastetter, Irina Zvarich, Elena Danilova are injured.  As a result FC Energy didn’t have 18 players in the official list of the match. And the team from Toilatti played in optimal squad.
 As a result the match was in equal struggle. The guests were better in the attacks and Voronezh team’s defense was the best.  On the 9th minute Natalia Barbashina was near the gates but Olga Mishanskaya stopped her accurately. Few minutes later great pass from Irina Grigorieva to Bosikova deceived the defense o the guests but Nadejda’s shot was near the target. And before the break the spectators didn’t see any other dangerous moments.
 At the second half the game was more exiting. Natalia Barbashina lost two chances to score. During her first raid Olga Mishanskaya blocked her again and at her second chance Olga Svinukhova played very well. The Voronezh team could hope for the victory when Natalia Zinchenko kicked from the left side – but not precise. And great shot from Russian international (U-19) Liubov Bukashkina from 15 metres was very close to bar. As a result – the deuce again. Now we are looking for three tough away games. The next one will be in Moscow region (the town of Reutov) against “Rossianka” – one of the favorites of the competition.
