"Torch"
The team from Voronezh could not protect themselves from relegation during the regular season. It is worth noting the fact that the "flammable" finished the season on the 14th line in the RPL, gaining 30 points to their asset.

The victory in Krasnoyarsk (1-0) makes life much easier for the home team in the second leg. From the Russian Cup, "Torch" flew out at the group stage, but in 30 matches of the national championship, it was able to hit the opponent's goal and missed 48 times in its own. In the last round, Fakel lost to Zenit with a score of 0:1.
