Makhachkala and Fakel Draw in Tense Kaspiysk Encounter
The Anzhi Arena in Kaspiysk hosted a thrilling draw between Makhachkala and Fakel in matchday 17 of the Russian Premier League. The game, played on December 1st, 2024, at 4:00 PM, saw an almost even possession split (51% for Makhachkala and 49% for Fakel). While Makhachkala created more scoring opportunities (9 shots to Fakel’s 6), clinical finishing was lacking, with only one shot on target for each team.
Tension was high throughout the match, with a total of 24 fouls committed (11 by Makhachkala and 13 by Fakel). Three yellow cards were shown: one to Fakel and two to Makhachkala.
