The game between the neighbouring Caucasus clubs was full of tension and drama. The footballers from Nalchik, continuing to fight for their place in the group, have already won two matches, including the battle with CSKA. Alania, on the other hand, is concentrating on?climbing up?in the league.But a derby is a derby, and both teams were thinking only of winning this game.
We must mention that the fan club "Alanskie barsy" and the fan club of "Spartak" organized a memorial to the victims of the terrorist attack in South Ossetia and remained silent for the first 8 minutes of the match.
The game started interestingly and at quite a fast tempo.The equipment failed to cope with the tension and in the 18th minute the lights went out. Despite the long pause, the teams didn't slow down - dangerous moments were regular. It seemed that "Spartak" was closer to success, but they failed to make the most of their chances.The last minutes of first half brought the first goal. Alania scored, and managed to keep that scoreline till the end of the game.
So, "Spartak" from Nalchik didn't manage to leave behind the armymen from Moscow in their battle for third place in the table. Alania, on the contrary, can feel safe and relaxed. They are well ahead, leading their main opponents, "Amkar" from Perm, by 6 points .
