St. St. Petersburg Zenit’s mentor Sergei Semak criticized the current format of the Russian Cup press service teams.
“How can you play the first game of the quarter-final in December and the next game three months later? I have questions about the calendar. You can also play on days other than the Champions League. You can play in a softer mode, not two days after the third day,” Semak said.
In the final match of the group stage of the Russian Cup RPL Road, Zenit defeated Krylya Sovetov from Samara with a score of 1:0.
In the 60th minute, Zenit’s striker Ivan Sergeev opened the scoring in the match, but the goal was canceled due to offensive handball. In the 87th minute, Sergeev scored without breaking the rules and determined the final score.
