Shumbrat — 2Drots: 1:1, Cup

Shumburat and 2Droits played out a 1:1 draw in the Cup's Regions Path second round on 12 August 2026, the match heading into penalties after extra time. And here's the thing — you don't need to look far to see why it ended like that. A. Molodtsov opened the scoring in the 25th minute, giving the hosts a lead they would not extend.

2Droits fought back and equalised late, M. Pogorelov finding the net in the 90th minute plus three. By then the game had settled into something familiar: a contest decided in the final breaths. The visitors had been the steadier side, but Shumburat held firm until the stoppage period.

Extra time produced no further goals, and the shootout followed. Both sides took six penalties each — six goals, six misses — and the sequence stretched to the final minute of the 120th. To be fair, neither keeper made a saving, and the pressure stayed level throughout.

Shumburat had 44 per cent possession and 3 shots on target, while 2Droits controlled 56 per cent and landed 5. The hosts won 7 corners to 9, and 2Droits had more throw-ins — 23 to 15. Yellow cards went 2 to 4 in favour of the visitors.

The result keeps both sides in the regions path, though the table position means little this early. Shumburat's last outing ended 1:3 against Crystal MEZ, while 2Droits had won 2:0 against Orel before that. It was a match decided by moments, not the long game.
