Strange connections

While waiting for the kettle to boil, I noticed the Russian bicarbonate of soda on our shelf and started reading the box, as you do,

Russian bicarb

and made the connection with

A match I went to in Khimki, near Moscow

Any guesses?
In Russian football, it's far more common to name football teams in connection the industry of the city or from the business of the works team. It's the same way many English clubs were established - Millwall and Manchester United were both started like that. Man Utd were originally called Newton Heath LYR [Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company] but few professional teams have retained the connection in the name, Arsenal and Leyton Orient being the most notable exceptions. Some Russian clubs have also dropped the links, FK Tyumen were at various points Geolog (geologist), Neftyanik (oil worker) and Stroitel (builder). Many, though, still have kept them, including...

Khimki versus Sodovik Sterlitomak, named after the soda factory

Here's a few more examples, with the industry in bold:

Amkar Perm (Ammia Karbamid = Ammonia Carbomide, the main products of the founding factory... nice!)
Arsenal Tula (Tula is famous for its weapons and metalwork, as illustrated in Leskov's story The Steel Flea)
Lokomotiv Moscow/ Liski (railway workers)
CSKA Moscow (Central Army Sports Club)

Shinnik Yaroslavl (tyres)
Tekstilschik Ivanovo (textiles are the town main industry, one that attracts so many more women than men that it gets called Gorod Nevest - the City of Brides)
Metallurg Lipetsk/ Novokuznetsk/ Viyksa (metallurgist)
Biolog Novokubansk (biologist)
Luch-Energiya (= ray-energy, sponsored by an energy company in Vladivostok)
Khimik Dzerzhinsk (unfortunately apt for one of the world's most chemically polluted cities)
