RPL Week 19: Scores & Highlights

The last week before the Summer Break saw some of the most entertaining matches of 2019, with the game week being the highest scoring on of the whole year.

Arsenal Tula opened the week by absolutely tearing Loko apart 4-0, Zenit stuck three past Dinamo - for only the second time this year - and Tambov defeated Orenburg 3-0 in a massive clash at the bottom of the table. Krylia dropped into the relegation zone after a 2-3 loss at home to Ural.

Meanwhile, Spartak and Rostov had both agreed to stop playing for a minute while their ultras walked out of the ground protesting police brutality half an hour into the game. However, Spartak forgot to start playing again and subsequently lost 4-1.

Born and raised in South Shields, the direct mid-point between Sunderland and Newcastle in North-East England during an era of sustained success and European football for the Magpies, while the Black Cats floundered in the lower divisions, so naturally I decided to support Sunderland. I’ve developed an interest in Russian football over the last decade or so, but it piqued while studying for my Masters’ Degree in Russian and Soviet History, and I’ve been hooked by Spartak Moscow ever since. Considers Eduard Streltsov the best of his generation, and a fond proponent of his repatriation.
