Inhospitable Nizhniy Novgorod

This travel to Naberezhnye Chelny and Nizhniy Novgorod went right if to try to restore your memory in search for the previous results.

Baltika FC has ripped good harvest in Nabereznye Chelny for the last years playing there confident and scoring once that helps us to pick a draw or grab a victory. This year was no exception with Semenov scoring the only of the game frustrating Kamaz adorers for Baltika won and continued playing successfully away bringing home points regularly. If we played in the same manner at home! 

Kamaz - Baltika 0-1

Baltika line-up: Baranovskiy - Timofeev ©, Popov, Krystafovich, Revyakin - Dzidich (Matyola, 79'), Kolomiychenko, Okorochkov, Semenov (Pershin, 82') - Egorov (Kenkishvili, 86'), Korovushkin (Golubov, 67')

That's why before the second away match kick-off in Nizhniy Novgorod against Volga almost all the cards were put with their main sides up for us to draw there at least but it didn't occur this time although once in the 90's Baltika routed Locomotive Nizhniy Novgorod there with the score 5-0. Those were our best times and not the best for Locomotive which dragged behind all the time. 
Much water has dripped off since and nowdays there are two clubs from Nizhniy Novgorod competing against each other in Russian First League - Volga and Nizhniy Novgorod. 
Unfortunately Baltika FC lost both matches which took place away in Nizhniy Novgorod this year. Firstly it was Nizhniy Novgorod when we lost 0-1 and more than one week ago we were beaten by Volga with the same score. The decider was scored early and through the game we had plenty of chances to regain the balance but the day seemed to resemble the unhappy cup game in Tver. Each forward of Baltika (Zavaliy, Korovushkin and Golubov) had at least two good moments but bad realization didn't play for us and we postponed the point-gathering process in Nizhniy Novgorod till the next year. 

Baltika line-up in Nizhniy Novgorod: Baranovskiy - Timofeev ©, Popov, Krystafovich, Revyakin - Egorov (Kenkishvili, 79'), Kolomiychenko, Okorochkov, Semenov (Sidyaev, 77') - Zavaliy (Golubov, 67'), Korovushkin.  

On Friday 28 of August Baltika was to play FC MIA (Ministry for Inner Affairs) from Moscow but we got 3 points effortlessly because the Moscow team was banned from tournament for having outstanding financial problems. I feel some regret that we haven't faced them at home this year - we would have routed them. 
On Monday 31 of August Baltika hosts Chita.
