Former Lokomotiv coach Yuri Semin told RB Sport that at the upcoming FONBET Russian Cup Superfinal between Krasnodar and CSKA, the Bulls midfielder Eduard Spertsyan and army goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev will be the main characters.
— Both teams are approaching the match in excellent shape, so it is impossible to single out one. For Krasnodar, the match is very important – the first trophy in the history of the club is at stake. In such games, leaders should come to the fore. Who exactly? Spertsyan and Akinfeev are the protagonists of the final, leaders in their clubs,” Semin said.
