Events

Match Events

5' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
9' Claudinho does the damage! The net is bulging and FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg surge ahead!
14' Christian Noboa is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg so far.
19' PFK Sochi are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
24' PFK Sochi have won 246 goals from 177 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
29' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
30' Mateo Cassierra doubles the advantage! 0-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
35' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg that had 402 games and scored 550 goals.
40' Over 40 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
44' Time for substitution for PFK Sochi. Christian Noboa is replaced by Victorien Angban.

54' Nuraly Alip is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg tonight.

82' A tactical swap from PFK Sochi — Vyacheslav Litvinov on, Igor Yurganov off on 82 minutes.
84' A moment of madness from Kirill Zaika on 84 minutes earns him a card. PFK Sochi will be frustrated.
89' FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Aleksandr Kovalenko is hanging Wilmar Barrios on the field on 89 minute.
The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for PFK Sochi.
