Chronicle
The footballers of Kazan “Rubin” added the title of Russian Super Cup winners to the title of national champions. The match for this trophy between the team from the capital of Tatarstan and CSKA took place at the Luzhniki Grand Sports Arena in the presence of 16,500 spectators. The only goal was scored by Kazan's Alexander Bukharov, who scored after a blunder by the Red-Blues goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev, who acted unsuccessfully in the penalty area and actually laid a game ball on the foot of the Rubin scorer.
It is interesting that the same clubs competed for the Super Cup at the beginning of last season, but then CSKA celebrated success, winning the prize for the fourth time. “Rubin” has now won the trophy for the first time, which has been played since 2003. If the “red-blues” had won, the Super Cup would have been given to the army team for eternal storage.

The volleyball players of the capital's Dynamo won the regular championship of the Super League ahead of schedule. The Blue and White and their closest rivals from the Zarechye-Odintsovo club near Moscow still have one more match left to play before the end of the two-round tournament than the other ten teams, since their first-round head-to-head match has been postponed to March 20. Even if we assume purely theoretically that the girls from Odintsovo will win all four of their remaining matches with a score of 3:0, and the Dynamos will also lose in three sets, then if the victories are equal, the ratio of games will be better for the “blue and white” by 0.006 coefficient.
