Zenit will play first number in this match. Many experts believe that the St. Petersburg team will win with a difference of at least 2 goals.
Review of the first half of the RPL match: Khimki - Zenit
Zenit started the game as actively as possible. Already on the 2nd minute of the match, Wendel struck a little inaccurately. Literally a few meters away with a barbell. Immediately, Ozdoev went to bed in a sliding tackle against an opponent. The game was rough. Magomed is shown a yellow card.
On the 9th minute Mostovoy shoots on target. Lantratov coped with this shot. Nevertheless, Khimki managed to level the game. Already on the 21st minute, Kukharchuk shot on target. Straight into the hands of Kerzhakov.
Despite the fact that Zenit had a territorial advantage, Khimki was the first to score. On the 28th minute Sebai punches as tightly as possible. Kerzhakov reacted and parried the shot. The first to finish was Kukharchuk. He punches and scores with his head in the fall. The score is open: 1 - 0. Almost instantly, in the 30th minute, Sebai once again hits the target. This time, without much threat to the guests' gates.
The hosts were unable to maintain their advantage. On 33 minutes Kuzyaev shoots into the goal post. The ball flies towards Azmun. Zenith's attacker handled the ball and scored into an empty net. The defense and the goalkeeper of Khimki were won back. The score becomes equal: 1 - 1.
The owners did not want to stop. On the 35th minute, Sebai shoots on target. The ball is knocked out for a corner. After the filing, Stodinovich is already breaking through. But not exactly. On the 36th Kuzyaev responded to the hosts with his inaccurate blow.
On the 39th Zenith fled to a counterattack. Mostovoy was brought to the strike position. He shot, but Lantratov was able to pull the ball. On 42 minutes Rakitskiy kissed the ball. But he struck by. The arbiter added 3 minutes. On 45 + 2 minutes Sabovich shot on target. First half result: 1 - 1.
Review of the second half of the RPL match: Khimki - Zenit
At the beginning of the second half, bookmaker quotes changed. On W1: 7.1, on W2: 1.65. The first 5 minutes were almost flat. Khimki tried to play open football and did not miss the moment to run away to the attack. Zenith had more control over the ball.
During the first 10-15 minutes, it was clear that Douglas Santos was far from his optimal playing form. He made a lot of mistakes. It is surprising that Semak did not replace a player who does not fit into the game picture.
The first shot towards the goal came at 62 minutes. Sebai moved with the ball. He tried several times to give a pass. But still he struck very weakly and not exactly. On 69 minutes, Glushakov struck hard. Again, not exactly.
Oddly enough, but on 69 minutes Semak removes Mostovoy and Dziuba. They were replaced by Erokhin and Sutormin. As the game showed, Semak was right. On the 71st minute, after a cross from the FLANK, Erokhin jumped out from behind the backs of the defenders and confidently scores. The St. Petersburg club came out ahead: 1 - 2. This was the first touch of Alexander to the ball.
At the 74th minute, Sutormin flew into the penalty area, set himself up and earned an 11-meter kick. The victim himself approached the ball. Sutormin scores confidently. Score: 1 - 3.
At the 81st minute, Sebai fled from the Zenith defenders. I went out on a date with Kerzhakov. But it punches past the frame. On 84 minutes Kuzyaev responded with a wide shot. On the 89th minute, Erokhin shoots wide. At 90 + 1 minutes, Azmun shot on target. As a result, Khimki suffered the first defeat in the championship. Result of the match: 1 - 3. Zenit starts the championship with a victory.
