Match report
Yelimay Semey took three points from Tobol Kostanay in the Kazakh Premier League, winning 2-0 on Wednesday evening. The visitors struck first through a penalty before adding a second goal inside the half-hour to leave the hosts with nothing to play for. It was a result that kept Yelimay in sixth place while Tobol remained seventh.
And here's the thing — F. Placca did not need long to make his mark. He stepped up for the spot-kick in the 16th minute and sent the ball home, giving Yelimay the lead they would not relinquish. S. Tanasijevic picked up a yellow card for the hosts just seven minutes later, and M. Mittendorfer went off the same way for the visitors before the quarter-hour mark had passed.
By then A. Zhaksylykov had doubled the advantage, finishing off a move in the 40th minute. The hosts wilted in the second half, making five changes while Yelimay brought on three players, including Placca himself who came off after his goal. China received a booking for Tobol in the 69th minute, and M. Belancic went off the pitch with a card in added time.
Statistics told a story of dominance without penetration. Tobol held 63 per cent possession and registered 94 attacks, yet only four shots found the target. Yelimay were sharper, landing nine shots on goal from 90 attacks. The hosts managed ten corners; the visitors seven. It was a match decided in moments, not minutes.
We had backed the hosts for victory at 51 per cent confidence, but the game went another way. A penalty conceded and a quick second goal broke whatever momentum Tobol had carried from their four-game unbeaten run. Yelimay now sit one point clear, while Tobol's seven-game unbeaten streak came to an end with this defeat.
