Athletistic/ Football. On Saturday, July 15, a new Russian football season begins. By tradition, it will begin with a game for the country’s Super Bowl. This year, Zenit and CSKA will compete for the trophy. The match will take place in Kazan. Last season, the Saint Petersburg club became the Russian football champions for the fifth time in a row, while the Moscow army team won RPL silver and the Russian Football Cup. In this regard, we suggest recalling the previous games of CSKA and Zenit in the Russian Super Cup.
2011
In 2011, the Russian Super Cup match was held in Krasnodar. “Zenith” had the opportunity to play there due to the fact that before that he issued a golden double. The St. Petersburg club won the 2010 Russian Championship and the 2009/2010 Russian Cup. In this regard, his opponent was the vice-champion of Russia. It’s CSKA. The first half went without goals scored. There were also no goals in the 45 seconds. However, in the 73rd minute, Zenit took the win. Alexei Ionov became the author of the decisive goal. Thus, the St. Petersburg club won the Russian Super Cup.
year 2013
In 2013, the situation was reversed. This time, CSKA scored a golden double. In the 2012/2013 season, the wards of Leonid Slutsky became both the champions of Russia and the winners of the country’s Cup. The team that took second place in the Russian championship also became a rival. In this case, it was “Zenith”. The match took place in Rostov-on-Don at the Olymp-2 stadium. CSKA played this match with the greatest possible confidence. Already in the 15th minute, Keisuke Honda led the army forward. Then, in the 36th minute, Sergei Ignashevich doubled CSKA’s lead. In the 83rd minute, Keisuke Honda made it big. Thus, CSKA beat Zenit 3-0 and won the Russian Super Cup.
2016
In the 2015/2016 season, CSKA managed to become the champion of Russia and get the opportunity to compete for the Super Cup. The army team had a chance to get a gold double, but it didn’t work out. In the Russian Cup final, CSKA lost to Zenit with the score 1:4. This match took place in Kazan, as well as tomorrow’s match for the Super Cup. The 2016 Russian Super Cup was held in Moscow at the Lokomotiv Stadium. Then Zenit defeated CSKA with the score 1:0. Everything was decided by Mauricio’s goal in the 22nd minute. The 2016 Russian Super Cup was Romanian coach Mircea Lucescu’s first and only trophy at the Saint Petersburg club.
