However, this is not the main thing, but the most important thing is to reach the finals of the Petrov Cup and try to win the honorary trophy. Alexey Isakov's team played away in the last calendar match and managed to win again. The squad fought against Olimpia. The match was dictated by Torpedo-Gorky and ended with a 1-0 victory.
