Last weekend in the Russian Premier League, Sochi and Spartak, the Moscow giants, clashed, with the latter surprisingly returning defeated from the Olympic city. Contributing significantly to the invaluable three points was Vanja Drkušić, the Slovenian national team defender who was one of the best and most outstanding individuals on the field at the Fisht Stadium.
Sochi emerged victorious with a 1-0 scoreline, with the sole goal coming fourteen minutes before the end of the match, courtesy of side defender Yahia Attiyat Allah against the visitors from the Russian capital. Both Slovenian players took to the field, playing the full ninety minutes. Martin Kramarič received a rating of 6.9 on the SofaScore website for his performance, while Vanja Drkušić received an impressive rating of 7.7. Only the scorer of the winning goal received a higher rating than the former Bravo player.
Despite the victory, Sochi remains at the bottom of the Russian Premier League table, trailing Akhmat and Baltika by just two points. If Vanja Drkušić, Martin Kramarič, and the rest could climb to at least 14th place, they would conclude the season in the additional qualification rounds. Ultimately, twelfth place would guarantee them safety, with Fakel currently holding an eight-point advantage in that position.
