Robert Moreno scored a point in his debut under the Sochi team

Former Spanish coach Robert Moreno made his debut on Sunday with Sochi in a goalless draw against Báltika, a direct rival in the fight for survival in the Russian Premier.

This is the usual match in which both teams have fully noticed the lack of training after three months of winter break, to which we must add that Baltika has not won in eight games and Sochi has not won in seven.

Tie that does not change the situation

Moreno, who took office in December, was chosen for the Chilean midfielder Ignacio Saavedra and the Venezuelan striker Sergio Cordova in the starting eleven.

Opposite, the team from the Baltic enclave of Kaliningrad, led by a former international player Sergei Ignashevich, who came out with a very Latin defense of the Venezuelan Diego Luna as a winger and the Colombian Kevin Andrade and the Bolivian Robert Fernandez of centrals.

Although the tie does not amount to Sochi, at the bottom of the Russian championship, it keeps the distance of two points to Báltika, which is penultimate.

The penultimate, Orenburg, was also trained by the Spanish David Deograciatied, while Chechen Akhmat won and left the relegation zone, with 20 points, beating Ural, now fourth from bottom with 19 points,

Twelve points in 19 days

Sochi, who has 12 points in 19 league games (three wins, three draws and thirteen losses), will also play the next game away from home, at the Lokomotiv stadium, which is fifth and lost to Dinamo (2-1 ).

Next, thanks to the national team matches, Moreno’s team will have two weeks to prepare for the decisive match against Ajmat in Grozny, as the Spanish coach’s first three games in Russia are away from home.
