Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: PFK Arsenal Tula gets underway.
  • 5' It’s high time Sergey Semak made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 10' PFK Arsenal Tula started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 25' It looks surprising FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg does not make any changes. Danil Stepanov has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 30' 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.
  • 33' PFK Arsenal Tula player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 34' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Artem Sokol.
  • 38' The referee shows PFK Arsenal Tula player a Yellow card on 38.
  • 41' A meaty challenge results in booking for Igor Smolnikov on 41.
  • 42' A meaty challenge results in booking for Igor Smolnikov on 42.
  • 44' FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg is taking the lead after the goal scored by Malcom on 44.
  • 49' Supporters expect more eagerness from Evans Kangwa, as he is very good at scoring at Gazprom Arena with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 54' PFK Arsenal Tula is showing some good football. However, PFK Arsenal Tula are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 55' GOAL! Malcom scores on 55.
  • 60' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Goran Causic made 245 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 62' Time for substitution for FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg. Ivan Sergeev is replaced by Artem Dzyuba.
  • 67' The supporters are chanting for Danil Stepanov. He replaces Evans Kangwa on 67 minute.

  • 82' 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 Dorde Despotovic suffering a number of foals already.
  • 87' 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.
  • 88' The FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg manager makes a substitution. Wilmar Barrios departs to be replaced by Arsen Adamov.
  • 89' Goal! Yuri Alberto scores his 77 goal in 284 matches.
