Regular meetings of the Premier League were held at the arena of Meshera sports complex on St.Valentine's Day, February 14th.
A much awaited event took place – one of the greatest goalkeepers of the region, the only goalkeeper in the Universe with a medical background, the ex-«guardian of the goalpost» of the team of masters «Volgotransgas», Maxim Alexandrov returned to Trend». «Trend» decided not to stop and introduced the world champion-to-be in basketball, Mikhail Naumenko, who will show how it should be played «on the second floor» if not on the third...
The match was started by the players in «blue» - Artem Andreyanov gave a precise diagonal pass to the far post to Anton Antonov, and the latter was precise as well.
«Berkut» «spread his wings» at once and rushed forward to catch up. After a series of sighting «shots», Maxim Kirillov sent the ball into the far corner of the goalpost – Alexandrov being shut down by the quarter-backs was unable to timely react to the kick.
Aleksander Prosvirnov’s «students» took the lead just before the break, when the players in «white» again left the rival holding an empty bag in a similar situation.
In the absence of Maxim Tselikov who signed a year contract with CSKA and ran attacking with a gun in his hands, «Trend» put forward Alexander Gulyaev and Artem Gvozdev again who brought several dangerous moments at the goalpost of Vladislav Gordeev. Naumenko also distinguished himself: he was easily gaining the ball in defense and was trying to get away from the representatives of «Berkut» on the flanks. But the host team managed to gain the victory despite an immense resistance by «Trend» and now continue their difficult quest for the medals. 3 to1 in favor of «Berkut» sports club.
