Metallogurk Magnitogorsk Women defeated Yenisey Krasnoyarsk Women 86:38 in the Russian Cup on September 16, 2026. The result was decisive from the opening minutes and never in doubt.
The home side had shown form earlier in the week, beating Chelyabinsk Women 70:62 on September 14. Yenisey, by contrast, had lost 60:78 to the same opposition just a day before. And here's the thing — the contrast in momentum was visible in the final scoreline.
Yenisey sit third in the standings after three matches, though their record reads one win, two losses and zero points. They've played poorly in recent outings, and this result extends that run. By then it was clear they had no answer for Metallogurk's pace.
The home team's attack was relentless, while Yenisey struggled to find any rhythm. To be fair, the visitors had started the tournament without momentum, and this did nothing to change that.
The 48-point margin leaves Yenisey staring at the drop in their pool. Metallogurk move closer to progression, while the away side must regroup quickly if they hope to salvage anything from this campaign.
