On November 9, 2025, at the "Rostec Arena" stadium in Kaliningrad, in the 15th round of the Russian Premier League, "Baltika" and "Krasnodar" played to a 1:1 draw. In the third minute of the match, Eduard Spertsyan opened the scoring, but just two minutes later, Brayyan Gil equalized with a response goal.
During the match, both teams had several opportunities, but neither could score the winning goal. The game started very dynamically.
In the 3rd minute, after a pass from Gaitan Perrin, Spertsyan opened the scoring — 0:1. However, in the 5th minute, after a long throw-in by Vladislav Bevyeev, Belikov passed the ball to Gil, who struck it in mid-air to equalize the score — 1:1.
After the intense start, the game calmed down somewhat. The teams alternated in taking the initiative, organizing active defense and pressing.
By the middle of the first half, Aleksandr Chernikov executed an excellent attack, dribbling past four defenders and taking a close-range shot. However, "Baltika" goalkeeper Andrade saved his team from conceding a goal.
Before the break, shots from Titkov and Batchi missed their targets, while "Krasnodar" goalkeeper Agkatsev managed to stop all dangerous attempts in time. In the second half, both teams made several substitutions.
"Baltika" strengthened their attack with Manelov and Kovalyov, while "Krasnodar" brought Mukaylov and Kozlov onto the field. In the 56th minute, "Baltika" player Irakliy Manelov almost turned the score around using Perrin's error through Filin's shot, but the ball hit the crossbar.
A few minutes later, Belikov's pass from the penalty area struck the post. "Krasnodar" attempted to score from set-pieces through Spertsyan, but the ball didn’t find the back of the net.
Towards the end of the game, "Baltika" coach Andrey Talalayev brought on new players, but shots from Piterov and Manelov were successfully saved by Agkatsev. In the final minutes, Andrade took a free kick, but Agkatsev once again saved "Krasnodar."
As a result of the match, "Krasnodar" extended their unbeaten streak to five games and maintained their position at the top of the league table. Meanwhile, "Baltika," despite this draw, remained in the European competition zone but missed the chance to close the gap on the leaders.
