Week 3: Story of Three Derbies and the Broken Jaw

By: Ivan | April 2nd, 2007

Good Weekend

Spartak Moscow
Won the very principal away derby against Zenit. That was really Saint Petersburg versus Moscow clash and Muscovites suddenly crushed home side by three goals in first half. Juicy was the fact that first was scored by Spartak charismatic leader and captain Egor Titov (video below). And second by Saint Petersburg refugee Vladimir Bystrov, who left Zenit for Spartak last season. He earned a penalty and scored – be sure he would never even try to kick from the spot in another match!

CSKA Brazilians
Ramon and Vagner Love of CSKA score early and late goals to mine a win in Moscow derby against Lokomotiv. These teams strongly argued for first place few years ago and CSKA couldn’t beat Loko for 3 seasons. Now their time has come.

Rubin Kazan
Team from Tatarstan moved from last place thanks to home win against Premier League debutant FC Khimki. Rubin has disadvantage on the way but found time to overtake – winner was scored on last minute.

Ricardo Jesus
Spartak Nalchik forward scored twice against Kuban Krasnodar in South derby. It’s really easier for Brazilian to adopt there, in (comparatively) hot climate.

Bad Weekend

Alexey Rebko
Close before his first national team call, Spartak young midfielder was attacked by hooligans in subway. They broke his jaw and he missed the game. Now he recovered and was put in Spartak start XI but shortly got first yellow card for wearing necklace and second for obstructing opponent. What a kindergarden.

Pavel Pogrebnyak
He’s the man who really hates Spartak and ready for anything in this case. Pogrebnyak even pushed away his teammate to score by himself. But it was the only Zenit goal - his team lost and he was sent off for elbowing opponent.
