Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: FK Dinamo Makhachkala gets underway.
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg that had 394 games and scored 534 goals.
- 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Pedrinho Santos made 370 appearances and scored 7 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
- 20' It looks like no one’s ball. FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 24' A meaty challenge results in booking for Mohamed Azzi on 24.
- 29' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Luiz Henrique suffering a number of foals already.
- 34' Douglas Santos has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 39' FK Dinamo Makhachkala started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 39.
- 44' FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
- 46' Pedrinho Santos has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jhonatan on 46 minute.
- 51' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 56' FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 57' Another substitution for FK Dinamo Makhachkala to replace Mohammad Javad Hosseinnejad by Gamid Agalarov on 57 minute.
- 62' Vanja Drkusic needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 67' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 72' The whistle greets Miro as he departs to be replaced by Serder Serderov.
- 75' Daniil Kondakov is replacing Wendel for the FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg side.
- 78' GOAL! Nikita Glushkov scores on 78.
- 78' Soslan Kagermazov is replacing Mohamed Azzi for the FK Dinamo Makhachkala side.
- 83' It’s high time Vadim Evseev made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 86' It’s gonna be a card for Soslan Kagermazov.
- 90' The whistle greets Maksim Glushenkov as he departs to be replaced by Nuraly Alip.
- Another three points for FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg.
