❗Zenith earns a dangerous standard. Last minute!
Kirill Zakatchenko
🚫 Zenit broke the rules in attack, two compensated minutes have already expired.
Kirill Zakatchenko
5️⃣ Kukuyan made up for the main time of the match by five minutes.
Kirill Zakatchenko
❓A couple of minutes before the end of regular time. Will Zenit lose points?
Kirill Zakatchenko
↔ Zenit double substitution: Mantua and Bakaev on the left, Vendel and Karavaev on the left.
Kirill Zakatchenko
❗Dmitriev hung up, and Maximov hit his head anyway, but the ball was in Kerzhakov’s hands. How good are the hosts at set pieces!
Kirill Zakatchenko
☝ Malcolm broke the rules on Zenith’s right wing defense. We are waiting for the standard.
Kirill Zakatchenko
↔ Finally, Semak makes the substitutions. Mostovoy and Erokhin left, Cassierra and Claudinho left.
Kirill Zakatchenko
↔ Another substitute for Fakel: on the left Maksimov, on the left Kvekveskiri.
Kirill Zakatchenko
❗ Kuzyaev hits the target with his left hand – Svinov is on the spot. There was not enough force to hit the “Zenith” player.
Kirill Zakatchenko
⏳ Less than 15 minutes before the end of the main meeting time. It is very difficult now for Fakel players.
Kirill Zakatchenko
❗ TEMPORARILY! Almost scored by “Zenith” corner! The ball hit the crossbar, then hit the line and flew out onto the field. There seems to have been an Appaev rebound.
Kirill Zakatchenko
👍 More than 15,000 fans attended today’s game. Not a bad indicator!
Kirill Zakatchenko
↔ Another substitution at Fakel: Magal entered the field in place of Akbashev. Maybe it’s time for Semak to drop someone off the bench?
Kirill Zakatchenko
📝In the second half, Fakel practically doesn’t attack. Before the break there were some attempts by the standards, now – nothing.
Kirill Zakatchenko
❗Good Pigs! It mirrors a difficult shooting by Claudinho.
Kirill Zakatchenko
↔ Second change in Torch: on the left Gongadze, on the left Dmitriev.
Kirill Zakatchenko
❗ And Malcolm strikes again, and once again misses the mark. It was a good position, but the ball didn’t land well on the leg.
Kirill Zakatchenko
🤔 Malcolm shoots from outside the box – over the goal. The Brazilian is very active today.
Kirill Zakatchenko
❗Oh what a moment! Lovren’s long pass and Bozhin threw the ball back without success. As a result, Svinov in a jump took out the ball by flying to the target. It was very dangerous!
Kirill Zakatchenko
☝ Five minutes played after half-time. While everything is much calmer than in the first half.
Kirill Zakatchenko
↔ Fakel made a substitution in the interval: Masternoy appeared on the field in place of Shlyakov.
Kirill Zakatchenko
▶ The second half begins. Will Fakel resist the champion?
Kirill Zakatchenko
⏸ The whistle of the break. Zenit have the initiative, create more chances, but so far two are on the scoreboard. Let’s get some rest.
Kirill Zakatchenko
1️⃣ Akbashev is back on the pitch. Meanwhile, Kukuyan recovered for a minute.
Kirill Zakatchenko
🤕 Now Akbashev has fallen on the lawn. Apparently, the “Torch” player got injured.
Kirill Zakatchenko
🚫 Claudinho found himself in a striking position, but at the last moment his breakthrough was stopped by the defender of the Torch.
Kirill Zakatchenko
📝 The hosts have finally arrived at the opponent’s goal, and Akbashev has even header, but it is very difficult to score from such a position.
Kirill Zakatchenko
⚠ Suslov receives the first yellow card of the match. Apparently, for talking to the referee.
Kirill Zakatchenko
☝ Malcolm played very actively for half an hour. The feeling that the Brazilian participates in every Zenit attack.
Kirill Zakatchenko
❗ This is the time! Svinov issued a delivery, hitting the ball exactly on Karavaev, threw it on Malcolm, and the Brazilian hit on the move much higher than the vyorot!
Kirill Zakatchenko
Malcom equalized after a long pass from Lovren
⚽ GOOOOOOL! There was a long pass for Malcolm and the Brazilian confidently passed the goalkeeper. The hosts were ahead for a short while. And Lovren gave an assist from his half of the pitch.
Kirill Zakatchenko
📌 So, another Zenit shot on goal. Malcolm hits from a sharp angle, no problem for the goalkeeper.
Kirill Zakatchenko
❗ Kuzyaev now shoots on goal, but Svinov deflects the ball wide.
Kirill Zakatchenko
☝ I’m trying to remember the scoring chances at Fakel’s goal. Other than hitting Malcolm from long range in the first few minutes, nothing comes to mind. He is very tight as the hosts play defense.
Kirill Zakatchenko
📊 Zenit had 81%. Possession of the ball. Nothing surprising, while other figures surprise.
Kirill Zakatchenko
❓Voronezh team turned almost the first conscious approach to the opponent’s goal into a goal. How will guests respond?
Kirill Zakatchenko
Fakel scored from a set piece
⚽ GOOOOOOL! “Flashlight” scores from the standard! The corner flag canopy was squarely over Gongadze’s head, and she definitely pulled into the far corner. Assisted by Akbashev. What a twist!
Kirill Zakatchenko
☝ 10 minutes behind. The initiative is on Zenith’s side. Fakel still defends very compactly, but no one clings to the balls in front.
Kirill Zakatchenko
📝 Zenit predictably took control of the ball. The hosts have not yet managed to move from defense to attack.
Kirill Zakatchenko
❗Malcolm fired a dangerous shot from outside the box. It’s hard to say if the keeper would have dragged the Brazilian to the far corner.
Kirill Zakatchenko
🕑 The match started in Voronezh. In the stands, as usual, a great atmosphere.
