Down-the-line.ru will broadcast live online text program: Football. Russian Cup. Path of the regions. Quarterfinal. Volga – Zenit. Direct
Entering the quarter-finals of the Cup of Russia – an unprecedented success for Ulyanovsk and it is not surprising that the “Volga” so strongly defended the match with the national champion “Zenith” in their field. And the arrival of Zenit is a great joy for the fans, because Volga are an obvious Premier League underdog and you rarely have to play with RPL teams. And with the current Cup format, with only four of the lower leagues stepping onto the mat for RPL teams, it’s an almost unrealistic task. But “Volga” was able to unexpectedly enter the spring part of the competition, defeating “Kuban”, “Neftekhimik” and “Ruby”. In each match, “Volga” was an underdog. It should also be noted that the Volga has the same number of Cup victories as in the Premier League – 3 in 20 matches and 17th place.
“Zenith” unexpectedly found itself in the Way of the Regions, finishing third in the group with “Spartak”, “Wings of the Soviets” and “Torch”. The defeat in Samara was decisive and also predetermined the outcome of the struggle in the group, the defeat of Spartak in Moscow and a victory for the Wings over the red and white. Suddenly, before the last round, “Wings” was enough to beat “Torch” to push “Zenith” into the Path of Regions. St. Petersburg, on the other hand, had to crush Spartak at home, but the red-whites survived, lost only on penalties, and this game is remembered for the struggle between the teams and the eliminations of Barrios, Malcolm, Rodrigao, Selikhov, Sobolev and Nicholson, who received lengthy disqualifications. Zenit players will no longer play in the Cup, Spartak players will only play in the finals, as there are more matches in the RPL Path.
