Former footballer “Zenith” Alexei Gasilin told that the team deservedly won the superfinal of the FONBET Russian Cup.
On June 2, Zenit defeated Baltika with a score of 2:1. The meeting took place in Moscow at the Luzhniki stadium. St. Petersburg defender Nuraly Alip scored the winning goal in second-half stoppage time.
— Did you follow the Cup final? How do you like Zenit’s game?
– Everything is absolutely deserved. In the first half, when Baltika had strength, they had chances, as evidenced by the number of corners. Zenit spent some time with Sergeev. The game was under the control of Sergei Bogdanovich Semak. Zenit’s goals are a question of time.
— When Baltika scored, did you understand that Zenit was going to win?
– Absolutely. I understood that the ideal scenario for Baltika would be a draw and a penalty shootout. It is worth noting the match of Baltika and Sergei Ignashevich and the main hero of this Cup, goalkeeper Evgeniy Latyshonok. How many saves this goalkeeper made – my respect. “Zenit put the finishing touches on their class and won the Cup deservedly,” Gasilin told .
In the completed 2023/24 season, Zenit also won the Russian Championship and the country’s Super Cup.
