Yenisey-STM Krasnoyarsk edged Krasny Yar Krasnoyarsk 30-29 in a closely contested Premier League encounter on 16 August 2026, maintaining their dominant record in this local derby.
The narrow victory represents Yenisey-STM’s third win in their last five matches, following a recent pattern of alternating results that has seen them post a LWWLW record. The single-point margin marks their tenth victory in eleven meetings between these Krasnoyarsk rivals, extending their historical dominance in the fixture.
For Krasny Yar, the defeat continues a difficult run of form that has produced just one victory in their previous five outings. Their LWLLL sequence heading into this match suggested struggles for consistency, and despite pushing their opponents to the final whistle, they were unable to secure what would have been a rare victory in this derby.
The result keeps Yenisey-STM’s commanding 9-1 advantage intact in the overall head-to-head record between the sides. The one-point difference represents the closest possible margin in rugby union, highlighting Krasny Yar’s competitive showing despite their recent difficulties.
