“There are 16 teams playing in the RPL, but Zenit always wins” – Koloskov

Honorary President of the RFU Vyacheslav Koloskov said that the season in the Russian Championship turned out to be amazing and meaningful, and in the end the strongest were lucky – Zenit.

St. Petersburg Zenit beat Rostov in the match of the 30th round of the WORLD Russian Premier League (RPL). The meeting in St. Petersburg ended with a score of 2:1. Sergei Semak’s team scored 57 points and finished the tournament in first place. Zenit became the champion of Russia for the sixth time in a row.

Dynamo Moscow lost to Krasnodar in the match of the final round of the MIR Russian Premier League (RPL). The meeting took place in Krasnodar and ended with a score of 1:0. Krasnodar finished in second place with 56 points, beating Dynamo (56), which finished third, in additional indicators.

— There are 16 teams in the Russian Premier League, and Zenit always wins. The championship turned out to be dramatic this year, amazing, interesting! Everything was decided literally in the last seconds – who would become the champion. And below it’s the same – who gets eliminated directly and who ends up in transition games.

Dynamo were a little unlucky. Two bars prevented them from becoming champions, but that’s what happens in football. The strongest are lucky. We had three almost equal teams – Zenit, Krasnodar and Dynamo. Everyone showed a great game. The championship did not go very smoothly. There were downturns, but there were also great matches. The championship turned out to be amazing and meaningful. There was a lot to see and a lot to remember. This is good,” Koloskov told Match TV.
