Akhmat 3-3 Krylya: Oleynikov double earns comeback draw in six-goal thriller (highlights)What a spectacular show in Grozny. Akhmat and Krylya Sovetov produced the most entertaining match of the 6th RPL round, sharing six goals in a 3-3 thriller. The visitors stunned the hosts early — on 15 minutes, Martin Kramarić teed up Ivan Oleynikov, and the midfielder lashed a stunning strike into the far top corner. Vadim Ulyanov had no chance. Akhmat roared back just before the break. Captain Lechi Sadulaev equalised on 36 minutes with a low finish, and two minutes later Égash Kasintura completed the turnaround after a slick one-two with Sadulaev. But Krylya refused to fold: on 45+1, Nikita Chernov rose highest from a corner to head home the equaliser. The second half was pure chaos. Kasintura went on a mazy run down the left on 60 minutes, beat three defenders, and pulled the ball back for Giorgi Melkadze to fire home. It looked like Akhmat would finally see it out. But Oleynikov had other ideas. On 72 minutes, he received the ball from Maksim Vityugov, sold Júlio Romão with a dummy, and curled a beautiful shot into the far corner. Krylya had snatched a point. There was more drama in stoppage time when Akhmat had a goal ruled out for a clear offside. After the game, Stanislav Cherchesov tipped his hat to Oleynikov, calling him the game-changer. Sergey Bulatov, Krylya's coach, simply said fortune favours those who run the most. Both sides now have six points, sitting 8th and 10th respectively. Can Krylya build on this character display?
