Alexander Mostovoy, former midfielder of the Russian national team and Spartak Moscow, criticized the format of the Russian Cup in the 2022/23 season.
“During the match, I learned that Spartak does not fly out of the Russian Cup in case of defeat. Are you kidding me? I hardly watched the second half when I found out about it. Then why two games at all?
So can “Ural” and “Spartak” meet in the final? Or maybe Ural, who beat Spartak, may not reach the final and Spartak can qualify? Has anyone seen this in Europe? It’s complete nonsense, ”Mostovoy quotes: “Championship”.
Today “Spartak” lost 1:2 to “Ural” in the second match of the 1/2 final of the Russian Football Cup RPL Road.. This does not mean that the red and whites leave the tournament draw. Muscovites descend into the Russian Cup Regions Road grid, where they will play Dynamo/Akron or Krasnodar/Rostov in the next round.
The previous match of these teams was played in Moscow and ended 1-1. The goals were scored by Quincy Promes and Yuri Zheleznov.
Thus, in the final of the RPL Road, Ural will face the winner of the CSKA-Krylya Sovetov duo, who will play tomorrow.
