Russian Cup | Temp Barnaul 3–4 KDV | 30 July 2026

Result Summary

A seven-goal thriller in the Russian Cup saw KDV claim a hard-fought 4–3 victory over Temp Barnaul, eliminating the home side in a contest full of momentum swings. KDV's dominance across nearly every statistical category ultimately told the story, though Temp Barnaul's resilience ensured the visitors were never fully at ease until the final whistle.

Match Analysis

KDV set the tone early, breaking the deadlock in just the 7th minute to signal their intent. Temp Barnaul responded well, however, and drew level through Sergey Mizgirev in the 16th minute, with Nikita Babich providing the assist — a well-worked move that briefly levelled the contest. The joy was short-lived. KDV restored their advantage almost immediately in the 18th minute, with Dmitriy Lavrishchev involved in the build-up via an assist from Denis Stepanenko, showcasing the visitors' directness in transition.

The first half concluded in damaging fashion for Temp Barnaul. Dmitriy Lavrishchev struck in first-half stoppage time (45+1'), again fed by Denis Stepanenko, to send KDV into the break with a two-goal cushion. The Stepanenko–Lavrishchev combination proved a persistent threat throughout, and the statistics underline how thoroughly KDV controlled the game: 60% ball possession, 105 attacks to Temp Barnaul's 75, and 63 dangerous attacks compared to just 43 for the hosts.

The second half brought more of the same from KDV. Lavrishchev completed a brace in the 56th minute, once more assisted by Stepanenko, extending the lead to 4–1 and seemingly putting the tie beyond doubt. Credit to Temp Barnaul, though — Nikita Shibaev pulled one back in the 64th minute to make the scoreline 4–2, adding a touch of respectability. The hosts ultimately finished 4–3 on the day, though their deficit proved too steep to overturn.

Disciplinary matters were minor: an unnamed Temp Barnaul player was cautioned in the 81st minute, with KDV receiving a yellow card of their own deep in injury time at 90 minutes. Neither incident materially affected the outcome. Temp Barnaul's 14 fouls compared to KDV's 5 reflect the home side's frustration as the game progressed, while the hosts also struggled with three offside calls against them, disrupting their attacking rhythm.

On the shot count, KDV's superiority was clear: 13 total shots and 7 on target versus Temp Barnaul's 8 total and 5 on target. KDV's coach Ilja Izotov will be particularly pleased with how his side managed the game, with the performances of Dmitriy Lavrishchev and the creative influence of Denis Stepanenko standing out as decisive factors from the starting lineup.

While the scoreline was closer than some may have anticipated, the underlying statistics — possession, attacks, and shot volume — validated the analytical assessment of KDV's superiority. The predicted scoreline of 0–2 underestimated Temp Barnaul's ability to contribute goals, but the direction of the result was firmly on target.
