The match, held in Ufa, ended with a 1-0 victory for the home side. The only goal of the game came in the 71st minute from a penalty converted by Aragon Ortiz.
With this win, Ufa collected 34 points and climbed to 15th place in the First League standings. With just one round left in the championship, the team moved out of the relegation zone. Novorossiysk’s Chernomorets sits in 16th place, also with 34 points.
The victory was especially crucial for the Ufa club after the RFU Control and Disciplinary Committee awarded them a technical 0-3 loss for failing to show up against SKA-Khabarovsk. That match was cancelled due to the closure of Bashkortostan’s airspace and the implementation of a “Carpet” emergency protocol.
Despite the loss, Rotor remains in fourth place with 53 points. The Volgograd club has already secured a spot in the promotion playoffs for a chance to compete in the Russian Premier League next season.
Key match details: the first half ended 0-0. The starting lineups featured notable players including Ufa’s goalkeeper Alexander Belenov and Rotor’s Nikita Chaprov. Both teams made several substitutions throughout the second half, with Rotor receiving four yellow cards compared to Ufa’s two.
The refereeing crew was led by chief referee Danil Naboka from Krasnodar, Russia. This win gives Ufa renewed hope of avoiding relegation as the season reaches its climax.
