“In my opinion, this is a championship lost more for Krasnodar than for Dinamo. In the last rounds, Zenit made many wrong shots, including unexpected ones, and Krasnodar made even worse.

Krasnodar, who beat Dynamo Moscow 1-0, took second place in the RPL rankings. The points of the teams were equal – 56, the Krasnodar club rose higher in the rankings due to head-to-head matches, the “bulls” beat their opponents twice in the Russian Premier League season – the first round match ended with a victory 3:1.
Zenit won the Russian championship for the sixth time in a row by defeating Rostov with a score of 2:1 in the final round of the Russian Premier League. The team collected 57 points. It is noteworthy that if Zenit had drawn or lost, Krasnodar would have become national champions.
