The penalty sequence stretched to a sixth round. Tosno scored in the first attempt, missed the second, then hit three in a row before failing to convert the final kick.

The numbers tell the story without embellishment: possession shifted but chances did not materialise. Nine corners to six, yet neither side could find a way through the other's defence during normal play. The shootout, by contrast, was clinical from both sides until the final kick.
Tosno's last competitive outing was a 3:0 victory over Kirovets Voskhozhchenie on 29 July 2026, while Cherepovets have mixed results in their recent fixtures, including a 6:0 win against Metallurg Lipetsk and a 1:4 defeat to Shinnik.
The outcome means Cherepovets advance in the Cup competition, while Tosno's run comes to an end. The goal difference stands at zero for both sides after the match, and the penalty margin of one kick separates them in the standings.
