Andrey's record managed to hold on to the top line of the rating for only 5 minutes, immediately after Alexey Molchanov dived... Nevertheless, Andrey Matveenko has managed to do something that few people in the world can do and no one else in Russia (except Molchanov, of course), and we believe that this is just the beginning of an interesting and powerful rivalry, which we will be happy to watch.
