Moses Cobnan Sends Strong Message to Krasnodar with Brilliant Pre-Season Strike
Moses Cobnan has kicked off his pre-season preparations in spectacular fashion, finding the back of the net to inspire FC Krasnodar to a resounding 5-1 friendly victory over PSK Dinskaya on Thursday evening.
The 23-year-old Nigerian winger looked sharp and motivated, needing just six minutes to breach the Dinskaya backline and spark a dominant performance from the Black and Green.
Moses Cobnan Sparks FC Krasnodar Pre-Season Rout
Cobnan’s lightning-fast opener set the tone for a one-sided affair, with FC Krasnodar quickly establishing total control.
Juan Boselli doubled the advantage in the 11th minute, and Daniil Utkin extended the lead to 3-0 just after the half-hour mark, ensuring the hosts walked into the halftime break with a commanding cushion.
The Nigerian forward was highly effective during his 45-minute cameo before making way for Daniel Ambartsumov ahead of the second period.
The team didn’t take its foot off the gas in the second half, as Ambartsumov added a fourth in the 73rd minute.
Though Aydyn Mirzoev pulled one back for Dinskaya shortly after, Andrey Polevoy struck late to seal the emphatic five-star win.
Nigerian Winger Eyes Russian Premier League Breakthrough
This early scoring form provides a massive confidence boost for Cobnan as he targets a much more influential role in the upcoming Russian Premier League campaign.
The talented forward endured a restricted role last term, managing just two goals and an assist across ten appearances, including a goal in the Russian Cup and a clinical finish against Lokomotiv Moscow.
