“When we found ourselves in a losing situation, we had to attack more. Zenit has many fast players in its squad who handle the ball skillfully. We managed the defense up to 60-70 minutes, but in attack… When you play against Zenit, you can be strong in defense, but you cannot do without attack,” Goncharenko noted in an interview for Match TV.
Recall that Douglas Santos, Andrey Mostovoy, Mateo Cassierra and Ivan Sergeev scored goals for Zenit, and Eric Bikfalvi scored the only goal for Ural.
