Lunyov and Sergeev helped Zenit reach the top of the RPL standings. In a tough match against Krasnodar, it was these former players from the Petersburg club who determined the outcome of the tournament. Lunyov, the goalkeeper for the Moscow team, played an outstanding game, making seven key saves. Meanwhile, forward Sergeev scored a goal in the 93rd minute to secure the victory. These individual achievements allowed the blue-and-white team to take the lead in the league table. To win the gold medals ahead of schedule, Zenit only needed to draw in their away game against Rostov. The Donetsk team has no motivation to continue playing. Under Alba’s leadership, the team has already mathematically ensured their survival in the RPL for next year. So, the final round will just be a formality. The Petersburg team is just one step away from winning the championship.
