Baltika Kaliningrad won 2-0 at Krylya Sovetov Samara in the Premier Liga, thanks to an early goal from Eldar Ćivić and a late second from Brayan Gil. The visitors had far less of the ball but were the more dangerous side.
Ćivić put Baltika ahead in the third minute, finishing after Aymane Mourid's assist. Samara pushed for an equaliser but could not break through, and Gil sealed the win nine minutes from time, set up by Sergey Varatynov. Denis Makarov was booked on 65 minutes.
Baltika had 13 shots to Samara's six and created two big chances, while Samara's 67% possession produced only two shots on target. The margin reflected the visitors' extra threat in front of goal.
