“There was practically no work. When these matches happen, the tension is especially high, because when you are at work, you don’t feel it. We dominated in the first half. If not for Igor, 100% two or three goals would have flown. He worked miracles.

In the second half, the game leveled off a bit. Missed, then missed from offside, after which Gustavo Mantuan scored a crazy goal. Before this ball, the pressure of CSKA was felt – they seized the initiative a little, the goal inspired them, they ran to the attack. The replacement made during the break also worked well, – quotes the words of Kerzhakov “Match TV”.

In the sixth round of the MIR RPL, Zenit will play at home with Torpedo Moscow. The meeting will take place on August 21st. On the same day, CSKA will host Grozny Akhmat in Moscow.
