In the fourth round of the championship of Russia on football teams of the Premier League, “Zenit” accepted “Ufa”. St. Petersburg welcomed not only by novice elite division, but also Javi Garcia, who signed a contract with the “blue-white-blue.” It is unlikely that the Spaniard was impressed by what he saw: “Peter” met the guests empty stands. One can only guess how Javi García took such punishment and regulations prevailing in the Russian football.

«Zenit» in the fourth round scored a good move, scored nine points in three games. The “Ufa” things went well, too. Footballers from Bashkortostan has even managed to win his first win in the Premier League, having settled in the middle of the standings.

However, the chances of success of guests that evening were minimal. Pitertsy clearly superior to his opponent. A “Ufa” had to gain experience playing at such a high level. Perhaps the guests could only count on some underestimation by the Petrograd and possible rotation composition, since a few days wards Andre Villas-Boas was to spend the next match of the Champions League qualifying tournament. And, of course, on the side of people could be the lack of spectators at the “Petrovsky».

Sleepy «Petrovsky»

«Zenit» started this fight badly. The hosts in the opening meeting was a little like yourself. Perhaps affected by the absence of sound support. But during the first minutes of the St. Petersburg group acted the second number. Guests feel that the big-name opponent has not yet entered the game, and began to attack. And in the third minute Anyukovu had to work hard in order to stop an opponent in his own penalty area.

In the next attack, his best side showed Lodygin. Defenders of the “Zenith” did not deter Handzhicha who threw the ball great Marcio. And the one who miraculously and bitingly struck. Fortunately for the home side, Lodygin flashed reaction!

Only after that wards Andre Villas-Boas come to his senses. Particularly zealous Hulk, which is traditionally used to take the game over. Guests watched closely the movements of the Brazilian, but they had to give up active games ahead. At the moment the initiative passed to the hosts. And soon, “Ufa” finally entrenched in his own half.

Although the “Zenith” and had a noticeable advantage, Veremko long time did not come into play. All attacks culminated in the hosts on the outskirts of the opponent’s penalty area. A few spectators forced the match began calling players to activity. And Ufimtsev nervous. At 28 minutes into the Forbes for some reason pushed into the back Kerzhakova, although striker “Zenith” moved away from the gate Veremko. The validity of a penalty is beyond doubt. A shot from the 11-meter mark struck the Hulk, who opened the scoring – 1: 0!

After this “blue-white-blue” began to storm the opponent’s net. And if not Veremko reaction, by the end of the first half of intrigue would not be. Great moments were Hulk and Kerzhakov. And after the long-range strike Faizulin ball does hit the goal post “Ufa”. Woodwork once saved and “Zenith”. At the end of the first half of the Petrograd played crossbar.

Unexpected debut

Immediately after the break the visitors pushed up momentum. How then told Igor Kolyvanov, during a pause, he spoke with the players, and they then grew bolder. And on 47 minutes, Marcinho almost equalized. Legionnaire “Ufa” cool free-kick swung into the wall, but did not get in the corner of the goal.

In fact, after this point the gate Lodygina not arise. At the same time, the owners are also not too eager to bother Veremko. “Ufa” could not manage to get close to someone else’s goal, and “Zenith” in certain moments and save energy.

Watch this action was quite boring. Then stepped in Andre Villas-Boas. He decided to throw in the freshman team – Javi Garcia replaced Anatoly Tymoshchuk on 69 minutes.

It’s amazing, but the Spaniard could be the anti-hero of the match. Already in the end he made a mistake in their own half of the field, giving the ball to the opponent, but the players “Ufa” and has not taken advantage of this oversight.

As a result, “Zenit” won a landslide, but a difficult victory. Now the “blue-white-blue” can concentrate on preparing for ligochempionskuyu battles. A players ‘Ufa’ need to gain confidence, they have managed to meet with the top teams of the Premier League.
