Baltika Kaliningrad delivered a commanding performance to dismantle Sochi 4-0 in what became a one-sided affair at home. The hosts took control early through Sergey Volkov's unfortunate own goal and Aleksandr Filin's strike, establishing a 2-0 lead within 12 minutes that Sochi never recovered from. Substitutes Chinonso Offor and Mikhail Ryadno made decisive impacts in the second half, with Offor winning a penalty converted by Maksim Petrov before Ryadno added the fourth. This emphatic victory will boost Baltika's confidence significantly, while Sochi's capitulation was compounded by Kirill Zaika's late red card for a professional foul, highlighting their complete breakdown in discipline and organization.
