Curious here was the strategy with which the Romanian tried to confuse the performer, Nazmi Gripshi. Before the Albanian hit the balloon, Vlad went to the left, leaving the right side of the gate.
Vlad returned to the center before Gripsi shot then threw up to the left of. However, the opponent shot to the right of the gate, shook the net and brought Astana all 3 points. It was the 84th minute when Gripshi defeated Vlad.
Most likely, Vlad tried to fool the opponent to pull to the left, suggesting that he would be thrown to the right. But he replaced heavy. The opponent also took advantage of the “executed” on the Romanian goalkeeper.
FC Astana now has 33 points, 3 over Kairat Almaty, 6 over Tobol and 7 over Aktobe, with the mention that the team on the 3rd place, Tobol, has played two matches less than the other leaders.
