Zenit’s head coach Sergei Semak in an interview with Soviet Sport admitted that the goal from 11 meters against his team in the last minutes of the 2nd round match with Rostov was correctly noted.
-How much do you agree with the designation of a penalty?
– I think an iron sentence. Andrei did not see the player who jumped.
The match ended with the score 1:1. For the blue-white-blue goal scored, striker Mateo Cassierra stood out. The Colombian scored a goal against the opponent in the 44th minute. In added time to the second half, a penalty kick was assigned at the gates of the guests, which was converted by the local striker Nikolay Komlichenko (90+4).
Thus, Zenit rises to first place in the RPL table, adding four points after two games. Rostov is on the second line with the same number of points.
On August 6, Zenit will host Dynamo, and on August 5, Rostov will play Wings of the Soviets.
