Gold in St. Petersburg! “Zenit” triumphantly regained its championship title.

Sergey Semak’s players didn’t give their competitors any chance at all. They secured the gold medals ahead of time. In the final match, the players from St. Petersburg easily defeated “Rostov”. However, there was still a lot of suspense in the match against “Krasnodar”. The fate of the championship was decided by Alexander Sobolev’s precise penalty kick. It was truly a golden moment for Zenit.

It took exactly one year for Zenit to return to the top of Russian football. Interestingly, this victory came during the club’s 100th season. The players from St. Petersburg proved that experience, character, and systematic work always bring results.
