“Kerzhakov came out victorious in a duel with Akinfeev, but CSKA players didn’t hit too well” – Bulykin

Former Russian national team player Dmitry Bulykin told RB Sport that in the match for the OLIMPBET Russian Super Cup, Zenit goalkeeper Mikhail Kerzhakov emerged victorious in a duel against Igor Akinfeev from CSKA.

On Saturday in Kazan, Zenit defeated CSKA. The main time of the match ended with a score of 0:0, the club from St. Petersburg won on penalties – 5:4.

– Kerzhakov and Akinfeev are two experienced goalkeepers. Mikhail came out victorious in a duel with Igor – he took two penalties, but we have to admit that the CSKA players did not hit very well in these moments. Akinfeev is one of the best goalkeepers not only in Russia, but also in Europe, but yesterday he again failed to save his team in the penalty shoot-out,” Bulykin said.

The Petersburg club won the Russian Super Cup for the fourth time in a row and for a record eighth time in history.
