Orsk beat Aktobe 6-0 in a club friendly on Friday evening. The match took place in Orsk on August eighth, with the hosts running out comfortable winners. It was a one-sided affair from start to finish.
Orsk came into this game with mixed recent form. They had just beaten Kulager 5-1 on Thursday, but before that had lost 1-4 to Chelmet Chelyabinsk. Going back further, they had drawn with Perm 3-4 and lost to Toros Neftekamsk 2-6 in March. The victory over Aktobe showed they could string some results together.
Aktobe's recent record told a different story entirely. Their last outing was a 1-8 defeat to AKM on Thursday. Before that, they had lost 1-3 to Gornyak Rudny, then lost 3-6 to the same side two days earlier. In February they had also fallen to Karaganda twice, losing 1-4 and 3-8 respectively. This result extended a difficult run for the visitors.
There were no goal scorers or minutes recorded for this match. The 6-0 margin spoke for itself — the hosts were simply too strong. Orsk looked comfortable throughout, while Aktobe struggled to find any rhythm. The scoreline reflected the gulf between the two sides on the day.
This result leaves Orsk in a better position than their recent form suggested. Aktobe have now conceded heavily in four of their last six matches. For the visitors, it was yet another match where they failed to keep things close.
