FK Oryol 0–2 Metallurg Lipetsk | Russian Third Division B | 4 July 2026

Metallurg Lipetsk Cruise Past Oryol

Metallurg Lipetsk continued their strong away form with a professional 2–0 victory over FK Oryol at the Central Stadium. The visitors scored once in each half and never looked troubled, controlling large stretches of the game and leaving the home side frustrated and toothless in attack.

First‑Half Dominance

Metallurg took the lead in the 19th minute when midfielder Pavel Tishin volleyed home from a corner after Oryol failed to clear their lines. The goal settled the visitors, who then dominated possession and created several more chances. Oryol’s best opportunity came just after the half‑hour mark when striker Artem Golubev dragged a shot wide from a promising position.

Second‑Half Seal

The second half followed a similar pattern: Metallurg controlled the tempo and doubled their lead in the 67th minute. Winger Vladimir Shtanyuk cut inside from the left and drove a low shot past the helpless Oryol goalkeeper. The home side offered little in response, failing to register a single shot on target in the entire 90 minutes.

Standout Players

• Pavel Tishin (Metallurg): Opened the scoring and was a constant threat from set pieces and open play.
• Vladimir Shtanyuk (Metallurg): His goal and overall movement caused Oryol’s defence constant problems.
• Dmitri Korolev (Metallurg): The centre‑back marshalled a defence that kept a clean sheet and limited Oryol to just one corner.

Table Impact

The win moves Metallurg Lipetsk up to 5th place with 26 points, now within two points of the promotion playoff spots. For FK Oryol, the defeat leaves them in 13th, just two points above the relegation zone. Manager Sergei Nechaev will be concerned by his side’s lack of attacking threat, having now failed to score in three of their last four matches.
