MFK Viz-Sinara Ekaterinburg clinched the UEFA Futsal Cup on penalties after a final of intense drama against ElPozo Murcia FS in Moscow.
Zuev delight
Il'Dar Makayev headed Ekaterinburg into a first-half lead but Kike equalised, and in the second 20 minutes it was Murcia who edged ahead on three occasions, only for the Russian side to level each time. Despite some nervous moments at both ends, spot-kicks were required and Ekaterinburg goalkeeper Sergei Zuev saved from Vinicius Elías, Álvaro and, decisively, Kike to win the club the European title at their first attempt.
Wilde close
Murcia, unchanged from Friday's penalty shoot-out victory against hosts and holders MFK Dinamo Moskva, went close within seven seconds when Mauricio's shot was smothered by Zuev. The Spanish side were pouring forward, but Ekaterinburg showed they could counterattack in the 4-1 semi-final defeat of Kairat Almaty and did so again through Dmitri Prudnikov, who chased a Vladislav Shayakhmetov clearance and shot on to the crossbar. At the other end, Wilde's strike hit the outside of the post.
Murcia hit back
Ekaterinburg's ability to turn defence into attack was displayed to deadly effect in the 14th minute. Zuev's throw found Prudnikov on the left and although his shot fell on to the bar, Makayev was on hand to head in from an acute angle despite a desperate Saúl lunge. Raúl would have equalised but for another intervention from the woodwork, although Kike drew Murcia level before the break when sweeping in Wilde's assist.
Shayakhmetov levels
The second half began like the first, with Murcia dominating possession yet unable to relax for a moment. Four minutes in they were in front, Kike's kick-in from the right finding Ciço, who registered from the edge of the box. Within two minutes Ekaterinburg had cancelled out that advantage through Prudnikov, who strode forward to tee up Vladislav Shayakhmetov.
More excitement
Wilde made Zuev work, as did Mauricio with a point-blank turn, but the Murcia pair enjoyed more success when they combined to strike just past the midway point of the half. Maurico chased a ball down the left and set up Wilde for his eighth UEFA Futsal Cup goal this season. Now it was Murcia's turn to defend in depth, as they had done to superb effect against Dinamo, but Konstantin Agapov shot on to the post with little more than four minutes left and then Prudnikov finished off a free-kick move.
Lead short-lived
Only 17 seconds playing time later Mauricio scored, with Pavel Chistopolov rapidly cancelling out his effort. The Russian team so nearly prevented extra time when Alexey Mokhov rattled the crossbar with Juanjo out of position just ten seconds from time, before the woodwork then prevented Kike from hitting the winner in the additional ten minutes. Murcia had won all their previous UEFA Futsal Cup shoot-outs (against Action 21 Charleroi for bronze last year and in Friday's semi-final) but instead of more heroics from goalkeeper Juanjo, Zuev was the hero.
