The game did not surprise anyone. “Akhmat” added after the resumption and looked generally more interesting than “Sochi”. Sochi took advantage of one moment at the end of the half. “Akhmat” had a permanent advantage. So the pause due to the coronavirus was good for the team. She won against Wings of the Soviets, and now she looked good.
I connect this with the fact that she had enough time to prepare well. She did it. Grozny residents looked good functionally both in the first half and in the second. So they won due to work.
Akhmat – Sochi. Glushakov shot on target
Denis Glushakov also got in shape. We know how he can play. Now he is moved close enough to the attackers, so he takes a lot of things for himself. I think he will have no problems with the contract for next season. Physically, he is gifted with nature. It all depends only on its functional state. He will look after himself – he will play.
I liked how Bernard Berisha played. He had his own moment, but did not break the goalkeeper. And so it connected perfectly, gave an assist, was active all the time. At Sochi, Andrei Mostovoi added cool. If he plays like that, then Zenit will take it back. He is a young guy, he manifests himself a lot, so anything is possible.
Akhmat – Sochi – 1: 1. Goals and Highlights
Before the goal missed by “Zenith” there were two more moments of Maxim Glushenkov. So the ball on the counterattack was brewing. Zenit did not play so fast in the first half. “Wings” defended very tightly, it was difficult to break through defense without speed. And the Samaritans ran well in oncoming courses.
Compared to Spartak, in Wings Glushenkov is trusted. With Miodrag Bozovic, in general, youth always begins to play. He often has to work with the young. At one time, Fedor Smolov and Alexander Kokorin started the same way at Dynamo. Bozovic trusted them. Wherever the trainer works, he always has young guys whom he trusts. So, if Glushenkov continues in the same vein, he has the opportunity to attract the attention of Domenico Tedesco. The main thing is to play stably.
Zenith – Wings of the Soviets. 0-1. Maxim Glushenkov
Zenit won because he added. “Wings”, just as they played in the first half, continued to play. If it weren’t VAR, we could have gone from defeat when we scored the second goal. They fought until the last minutes. They cannot be blamed for this. But “Zenith” in the status of leader and champion could not lose. Yes, even in their field. Nobody would understand them in St. Petersburg.
In general, the team played its two goals. It was the team, because the penalty was not created by Artem Dziuba, although he scored them confidently. This is not to say that Zenit failed the first half, but it looked hard. In the second half of the match came out as in a game against CSKA. Immediately there were more moments. Dziuba played in his own style. When a team adds, he immediately has moments.
