Kama — Tekstilshchik: 3:0, Russian Cup

Kama saw off Tekstilshchik 3:0 in their Russian Cup fixture on Wednesday, a result that keeps them sitting third in the table. Tekstilshchik remain bottom of the group, still without a point after two matches.

And here's the thing about Kama — they've had their ups and downs. A 3:1 win on Tuesday against Volzhaniy Kostroma followed a heavy 0:3 defeat to Chelyabinsk the day before. To be fair, they've shown they can bounce back.

Tekstilshchik's struggles have been more consistent. Two losses already, including a 1:3 result against Chelyabinsk yesterday. They had won both of their previous Cup matches — 3:0 against Makhachkala and 3:0 against Tyumen — but the away end never stopped watching closely this time.

By then, Kama were clear on form. Three wins in five matches this season, though they've also lost twice. The 3:0 scoreline against Tekstilshchik extended their unbeaten run in Cup competition, even if it wasn't a perfect performance.

The standings tell the simple story. Kama sit on three points, one behind the leaders. Tekstilshchik, with zero points from two games, have not won since their opening Cup match back on September 11th.
