Zenit was considered the big favorite of the match. But the match ultimately ended in a draw, and ultimately Spartak could have scored, but hit the post.
“In the first half it seemed that in general everything was going according to Zenit’s plan. They stretched the Spartak defense, often attacked along the edges of the field and controlled the game. But something was still missing something to turn the advantage into a goal.”

The second half, it seems to me, repeated the scenario of the first. Again, good play on the flanks, but without obvious results – there were few shots. If you do not go into such tactical subtleties, the game might even seem boring,” RB Sport quotes Malafeev.
