Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' 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 Yurii Bavin suffering a number of foals already.
  • 11' Goal! Artem Dzyuba scores his 114 goal in 105 matches.
  • 12' GOAL! Artem Dzyuba scores on 12.
  • 17' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 17 minutes.
  • 22' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Catalin Carp made 125 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

  • 46' What an equalizer from Kirill Klimov!
  • 46' Kirill Kravtsov has so much to prove this time. He replaces Aleksandr Erokhin on 46 minute.
  • 51' Supporters expect more eagerness from Danil Krugovoi, as he is very good at scoring at Mordovia Arena with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
