Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg and FK Khimki is underway.
  • 5' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 10' FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 15' Reziuan Mirzov needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 20' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 22' Goal! Luciano Gondou scores his 30 goal in 112 matches.
  • 27' It’s high time Aleksandr Dimidko made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 32' 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.
  • 37' Supporters expect more eagerness from Andrei Mostovoi, as he is very good at scoring at Gazprom Arena with 21 goals in the last 17 games.
  • 42' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 46' The whistle greets Ilya Berkovskiy as he departs to be replaced by Petar Golubovic.
  • 51' 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.
  • 56' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 56 minutes.
  • 61' 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 Vanja Drkusic suffering a number of foals already.
  • 62' Butta Magomedov is replacing Reziuan Mirzov for the FK Khimki side.
