Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg gets underway.
- 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' FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Wendel scoring 1 goals.
- 15' Nikita Krivtsov has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 30 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FK Krasnodar that had 266 games and scored 423 goals.
- 25' FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 27' GOAL! Wendel scores on 27. Assisted by Luiz Henrique
- 32' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 37' Nino needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 3 Red cards this season.
- 42' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 44' It’s a booking for FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg player. Vanja Drkusic gets a card.
- 49' It looks surprising FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg does not make any changes. Moses Cobnan has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 51' That looks like a foul for a card for Nikita Krivtsov.
- 56' Supporters expect more eagerness from Vitor Tormena, as he is very good at scoring at Gazprom Arena with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 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 Maksim Glushenkov suffering a number of foals already.
- 66' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 66 minutes.
- 69' What a strike from Lucas Olaza! The score is 1-1.
- 71' The supporters are chanting for Pedrinho Santos. He replaces Jhonatan on 71 minute.
- 76' 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.
- 78' Pedrinho Santos is having his name booked by the referee on 78.
- 79' Time for substitution for FK Krasnodar. Joao Batxi is replaced by Juan Boselli.
- 82' The supporters are chanting for Roman Vega. He replaces Maksim Glushenkov on 82 minute.
- 86' A meaty challenge results in booking for Kevin on 86.
- 88' It is a substitution in FK Krasnodar team. Giovanni Gonzalez is replaced by Valentin Paltsev on 88 minute.
- 89' Moses Cobnan is replacing Nikita Krivtsov for the FK Krasnodar side.
- 90' The referee calls foul for Aleksandr Sobolev. He receives a card.
- 90' Time for substitution for FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg. Douglas Santos is replaced by Nuraly Alip.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-1.
