Krylya Sovetov Edge Spartak Moskva 2–1 Thanks to Pechenin Winner
PFK Krylya Sovetov Samara claimed a hard-fought 2–1 victory over FK Spartak Moskva in RFPL regular-season action on matchday 28, with a late goal from Kirill Pechenin sealing the points after a spirited comeback attempt by the visitors.
The hosts took control early when Fernando Costanza converted from the penalty spot in the 13th minute, putting Krylya Sovetov 1–0 up. The early breakthrough allowed the Samara side to dictate much of the first-half tempo, though detailed match statistics beyond goals, cards and substitutions are not available.
Spartak responded after the break. In the 57th minute, Gedson Fernandes made way for Igor Dmitriev, and that change proved decisive. Dmitriev assisted the equaliser in the 64th minute, teeing up Manfred Ugalde to level the score at 1–1 and briefly swing momentum towards the Moscow club.
The game grew tense as bookings followed on both sides. Krylya Sovetov’s Maksim Vityugov was shown a yellow card in the 66th minute, before Spartak’s Ruslan Litvinov entered the book four minutes later. Spartak substitute Pablo Solari was also cautioned in the 86th minute as the visitors chased a second equaliser.
By then, Krylya had already restored their lead. In the 77th minute, Pechenin struck what proved to be the winner, finishing a move set up by Sergey Babkin to make it 2–1. A flurry of home substitutions around the 70–75 minute mark helped Krylya manage the closing stages, while Spartak introduced Levi García and Christopher Martins in the 83rd minute in a late push.
The win gives Krylya Sovetov a valuable boost in the RFPL table as the regular season enters its final stretch, while Spartak leave Samara empty-handed despite Ugalde’s equaliser and a strong second-half effort.
