Zenit defender Danil Krugovoy said that the team’s problem in the match against Lokomotiv Moscow in the 17th round of the Russian Premier League (RPL) was to misuse the chances. His words are quoted by the publication “Euro-Football.Ru”.
“We conceded a funny first goal. Sergei Bogdanovich warned that in such matches everything is determined by the standards. It is difficult to show the game in bad weather. And so it happened. They missed the first interesting goal from a set-piece, when Misha Kerzhakov scored an own goal, and at the second moment Glushenkov just he was lucky,” Krugovoy said.
Railways won the match with a score of 3:1. The meeting was supposed to start at 16.30 Moscow time, but due to heavy snowfall in the capital, the match started at 17.00. Unlike the CSKA-Rostov match played during the day, Russian Railways Arena employees managed to clear the area from snow.
Lokomotiv, which collected 28 points after 17 rounds in the RPL, shares the fourth place with Dinamo and CSKA. Thanks to the victory over Orenburg, Krasnodar returned to first place. Zenit rose to second place. In third place is “Wings of the Soviets”.
