The victory of Moscow’s “Dinamo” in a direct confrontation against “Krasnodar” legally ended the championship race in the RPL. With one match left in the season, “Zenit” led the standings alone, having gained a decisive advantage by the end of the last playing day. The situation in the final round is clear: the Petersburgers need to avoid losing in their away game against “Rostov” in order to secure the gold medals. The “Bulls” will have to face “Orenburg” at home, but this game will no longer have any impact on the final ranking. The suspense around the race for the first place has finally ended. There will be no third replay in this century. The championship for the blue-white-blue team has become a mathematical fact. And the club from Saint Petersburg once again proved its systematic dominance in Russian football.
