Kaliningrad’s “Baltika” drew 0-0 with “Rostov” in their match of the 9th round of the Russian Premier League. This result means that Andrey Talanayev’s team has managed to avoid defeat in every match at the beginning of the season, setting a record for newly promoted teams in the top tier of Russian football.
