Spartak’s sports director Tomas Amaral confirmed the club continues to monitor Rostov midfielder Daniil Glebov. He explained that after early evaluation the price was not justified, though the interest remains alive. “The more you follow Glebov, the more you like him. We investigated and reached a price; after discussion we decided it wasn’t worth it. We will keep watching him, but that does not mean we will sign him”, Amaral said.
Spartak defeated Krylia Sovetov 4:1 in the fourth round of the Russian Cup group stage. Jamaican forward Shamar Nicholson opened the scoring in the second minute. Midfielder Roman Zobnin doubled the lead in the 19th minute, and Kirill Pechenin scored an own goal in the 41st minute to widen Spartak’s advantage. In the second half, the Wings managed to pull one back, and in the 68th minute forward Vladislav Shitov added another, with defender Ricardo Mangas capping the night by finishing the match in the 89th minute.
