Before the start of the 30th round, Dynamo had 56 points. Zenit was in second place with 54 points, Krasnodar had 53 points. “Blue and White” only need a draw to win the title, “Zenith” and “Krasnodar” only need a victory. At the bottom of the standings, Sochi lost its chance to stay in the league. “Baltika” has a theoretical opportunity to retain its place in the RPL, but for this it is necessary to defeat “Lokomotiv” and follow the results of the matches with the participation of “Nizhny Novgorod” and “Fakel”.
16:36. We have our first goal! “Fakel” took the lead in the match against “Akhmat” after Bozhin’s header. As of now, Voronezh residents have protected themselves from flying out and getting into joints.
16:38. And then Lokomotiv scores! The beautiful combination ended with a goal from Anton Miranchuk, who is now sending Baltika to the First League.
17:00. Meanwhile, Krasnodar scored against Dynamo. Cordoba dealt with the Muscovites' defense and shot past Leshchuk. However, the referees will watch the replay to check for offside. And Karasev called offside! We have a cancellation. Dynamo is still the champion.
17:08. Baltika compares, but even here the goal is canceled after watching the video replay. Kaliningrad residents have big problems that have not gone away. By the way, while everyone was watching the drama in Krasnodar, Rubin scored against Sochi.
17:12. There are two goals in a row from CSKA. Davila and Musaev seem to be sending Ural to the play-offs.
17:22So far the situation in the fight for the championship has not changed. The score in the matches between Krasnodar and Dynamo, as well as in the confrontation between Zenit and Rostov, was never opened. We are waiting for the outcome in the second half.
17:45. Krasnodar still scores! And again Cordoba — this time no one cancels the goal. Galitsky's team becomes the champion of Russia online.
17:46.Rostov immediately scores against Zenit. A brilliant pass by Komarov, a pass to Ronaldo and the St. Petersburg team had big problems. It's just crazy what's going on.
17:55. Meanwhile, Fakel and Lokomotiv scored the second goals against their opponents. “Baltika” already has both feet in the First League.
18:05. Zenit scored the second goal, but the goal was canceled! These are the nerves. About 20 minutes before the end of the season in the RPL.
18:10.«Nizhny Novgorod» equalized the score in the match with «Wings». This result allows the residents of Nizhny Novgorod to feel a little calmer, because a defeat could theoretically help Baltika if they won. By the way, the Kaliningrad team won one goal back from Loko — 1:2.
18:12. Dynamo hits the post twice in a row! Happiness was so close.
18:15. Zenit still scores a second against Rostov! Now the St. Petersburg team are currently champions. How will Dynamo respond?
18:29. Dynamo lost! We wait a few minutes for the match in St. Petersburg to end. Only Rostov can make Krasnodar a champion.
18:30! EVERYTHING! «Zenit is a champion! “Krasnodar” is second, “Dynamo” is only third.
