The cold weather did not affect the first match of the Russian Cup RPL Road 1/4 final between Dynamo and Zenit, former head coach of the Russian national team Boris Ignatiev said in an interview with socialbites.ca.
“On the contrary, this atmosphere encourages the players. We watched a serious fight between two teams that played fast football and kept everyone on their toes. The weather did not have any negative effects, it is interesting to play in such cold weather in terms of fan interest, because the players deliberately move a lot so as not to get caught in the frost, figuratively speaking. I really liked the game, I did not see any problems with the weather conditions, the field was good, it was possible to carry out all kinds of technical and tactical operations, that’s what happened,” said Ignatiev.
The match between Dynamo and Zenit ended with a score of 1:0. Fedor Smolov scored the only goal. He scored the goal in the 74th minute. In the 69th minute of the match, Dinamo player Jorge Carrascal received a red card for the second yellow card.
