Andrei SenchenkoSport correspondentAll materialsWrite to the author»Today everything is on point,» said Evgeny Melezhikov, commenting on the defeat of Spartak in the match with Zenit. «Zenith» fully justified the status of the favorite and did not give the principled rival almost no chance of success. Yes, «Spartak» got an amazing goal by Alexander Sobolev, who was compared with Dennis Bergkamp, there were several promising approaches to someone else's penalty area, but that's all . The Petersburgers completely owned the initiative, even giving the hosts the ball in the end, creating a lot of dangerous chances at the gates of Alexander Maksimenko, and the balls of Dejan Lovren and Andrey Mostovoy were enough to take three points away from the capital. This victory can only be called strong-willed because of the semantic properties of this expression: in fact, the team of Sergei Semak was calm and confident in their own superiority.
