“Did he say this match was the last round of intrigue in the championship? And it was. Although Zenit is closer to the victory, I think Semaka strategically arranged a draw. Nine points left—an unplayable distance in seven rounds,” Slutsky said.

After this match, the teams continue to take place in the same place in the ranking. Having collected 55 points, Zenit is at the top of the scoreboard. Rostovits are in second place.
