In a closely contested match, FC Krasnodar emerged victorious with a 1-0 scoreline against their unnamed opponents. The first half ended in a stalemate, but the second half saw Krasnodar step up their game, attacking more actively.
The turning point of the match came in the 87th minute when striker John Cordoba, wearing the number 23, scored the decisive goal. The assist for Cordoba's goal was provided by Eduard Spertsyan.
Cordoba was named the best player of the match, a well-deserved recognition for his crucial contribution to the victory.

The win has propelled Krasnodar up to third place in the RPL standings, overtaking their opponents in the process.
Gaëtan Perrin, the 29-year-old French attacking midfielder who recently joined Krasnodar from Auxerre, was unable to play due to a thigh muscle injury. However, the club's medical staff is optimistic about his recovery and return to the team soon.
Perrin, who will play for Krasnodar with the number 23, is expected to take on the role of a playmaker, continuing his progression after helping Auxerre achieve two promotions to France's top flight and recording 10 goals and 10 assists in the 2024/25 Ligue 1 season. His transfer fee was around 4.5 to 5 million euros.
Notably, the 100th match for both midfielders Alexander Chernikov and Nikita Krivtsov took place on August 2nd.
The points earned from this match, 3 in total, will undoubtedly boost Krasnodar's confidence as they continue their journey in the unspecified league or tournament.
