Athletistic/Football. Today, May 2, the first match of the RPL Russian Cup final took place in Moscow at the VEB Arena stadium. Local CSKA hosted Zenit St. Petersburg. The match ended in a 1:1 draw. The guests responded to Anton Zabolotny’s goal with a goal from Alexandra Erokhin. Zabolotny spoke about it.

– We had some good attacks in the first half, but unfortunately due to an offside we were deprived of a goal. We controlled the movements of Zenit players and understood that they were saturating the center of the field, so we tried to make the opponent fall to the flanks. We tried to follow our strategy, but unfortunately, like in the first round, our goal set us back and we started to lose possession of the ball,” Zabolotny was quoted as saying by Match TV.

Remember that CSKA is the current holder of the Russian Cup.
