Zenit and CSKA will play the Russian RPL Cup in football for the second time in a row. The team of Sergei Semak in a return meeting again prevailed over Rostov thanks to the goals of Alexander Sobolev and Mateo Kassierra after the break. Moreover, in both cases, the attackers were assisted by the 19-year-old Brazilian Pedro. The army team to defend the advantage in the fraternal derby with Dynamo two weeks earlier by Igor Akinfeev’s confident game. As a result, the teams dispersed the world without pleasing the fans with goals. Blue-and-white now has to measure the regions on the path of the Spartak. The Nanamo Namenia to the return semi-final match of the RPL Cup Dynamo and CSKA approached a diametrically opposite mood. The army team won six victories in all competitions with just one draw with Zenit and joined the struggle for gold in the national championship. In addition, only three goals were launched and missed. The white-blue, on the contrary, rained down and beat only the Dynamo and Orenburg Makhachkalinskoye in the class. And in the last round of the championship they dispersed the world with another outsider-“Paris NN”, even if Marcice of the Lichka and attached many leaders, and missed the opportunity to reduce the lag-3. And in the media, information appeared at all about the possible resignation of the coach in case of another failure in the fraternal derby. This confrontation could really turn out to be a decisive for the Czech, because the leadership of the club has repeatedly called the main goals facing the team: medals and conquering the country’s Cup. Also on the topic of Moscow – without losses: Spartak broke off at the Urals in the Russian Cup, Lokomotiv suffered with Akhmat, Spartak and Lokomotiv, justified the status of the favorite of the semifinals of the Russian Cup regions, knocking out the Urals from the drawing and … as for the compositions, both mentors conducted a rotation in the last round of RPL. And they threw all the strongest into the battle. The only thing that Arthur could not help the owners because of the rupture of Achilles tendon. For the first time, Igor Akinfeev, and not Vladislav Torop, went out of the guests in the field in the Cup. In the first half, the hosts completely dominated. It was felt that they tuned in to the match by an prohibitive way and really wanted to take revenge. They did not just own the initiative, but won almost all martial arts and rebounds. This led to the fact that the visas could not even cross the middle of the field. The stroke statistics are very indicative – 10: 1. Dynamo in the proprietary manner of the combination and tried to open the defense of the army through the flanks. Yaroslav Gladyshev was especially active on the right, Elazar Dasa regularly rose to the aid. The blue and white tried to play the ball to the faithful. But, as often happens in the current season, there was not enough implementation. And in the absence of Konstantin Tyukavin, there was no one to inflict a final blow. Already in the debut, Luis Chavez almost opened an account with a neat shot from behind the penalty line, but hit the bar. In a pair of episodes of centimeters in order to close the shift, Gladyshev was not enough. Well, of course, Akinfeev was incomparable. He demonstrated that at the age of 39 he remains the strongest goalkeeper of the country. What is the episode when Jorge Karrascal powerfully struck from the approaches to the penalty area, but the goalkeeper managed to form and neutralized the threat. A little later, he pulled the ball out of the crossbar after the blow of Daniil Fomin. In the second half, the white and white had to mainly regret the missed chances. Marco Nikolich made competent replacements. The appearance of Christiain Bistrovich and Rifat Zemaletdinov in midfield made it possible to restore order in the support zone. Opponents stopped penetrating so rapidly into a foreign half, as before. Yes, and the army team competently pulled time. Although there were still moments. For example, Juan Jose Kasseres connected to the attack, but Akinfeev coped with the Latin -American shot at the far corner. He retorted the blow of Karrascal a little later. But in the end of the hosts did not even get a bulk. It seems they simply did not have enough strength. Yes, and PM dragged on with screams. Moami Nggalee came out only in the 78th minute, and Victor Okishor and Diego Laxalt-even later. But the main thing is that there were no forwards on the bench, with the exception of young Denis Bokov. Thus, Dynamo, having given out the best time in the season, could not defeat CSKA and flew out on the path of the regions where Spartak would come down. The army team in the final of the RPL path, like a year ago, will meet with Zenit. Zenit’s pod at the classroom was an extremely difficult task before Rostov – to play a handicap in one missed ball at Zenit’s exit. The fact is that the southerners did not win in the northern capital since November 2013. And in the last full-time visiting meeting, in August last year, they missed five unrequited balls and allowed Maxim Glushenkov to arrange a hat-trick. Also, on the topic of intrigue, he was alive: “Zenit” defeated Krasnodar in the 24th round of the RPL and reduced the lag to two points “Zenit” beat Krasnodar in the central match of the 24th round of the RPL and reduced the lag behind the southerners in a tournament table …. In addition, the blue-white-blue were in an excellent mood after the most important defeat of “Krasnodar” in the Krasnodar. RPL. The guests had the hope of a large -scale rotation in Roster Rivals. As a result, Sergey Semak really gave all the wards who went out onto the field from the first minutes in the match with the “bulls”, with the exception of Nino. But Alexander Sobolev, who scored glasses in two meetings in a row, got his chance. And he certainly had enough motivation. Odnako, Jonathan Alba’s wards were not going to give up. In the first half, they even owned the advantage. Moreover, they did not adapt to the current owner of the trophy. Ahead are the perfectly able to cling to the balls Yegor Golenkov and Nikolai Komlichenko. This was especially true for the latter, who constantly prevailed in the struggle on the second floor. In case of loss, the guests turned on high pressure and often returned possession. Promising that Denis Adamov, who had repeatedly had to help partners, became one of the main characters. In particular, in the debut itself, he pulled out a shell from under the crossbar after Komlichenko’s head hit. And later he coped with the distant shots of Maxim Osipenko and Ivan Komarov. Zhizhiaev answered good counterattacks. Moreover, Sobolev was more noticeable in their ranks. He clung to the balls, and performed discounts on teammates, and independently completed the attacks. In the 26th minute, he even managed to score. Ilzat Akhmetov performed a soft cast in the penalty. The forward processed the shell with breasts and struck the second touch. But the judges, having studied the repet, recorded offside. Once after the break, the southerners missed another chance. Komlichenko jumped out from behind the guardian and, taking advantage of Komarov’s presentation from the right edge, struck from a close distance. The owners again saved the distance of the Adams in a timely manner. But the trouble for Rostov came from where they did not wait. Suddenly sat on the lawn and asked Viktor Melikhin. Instead, the arthus threw Umar Sako into battle. And it must happen that the Nigerian involuntarily helped the rivals open an account. A few minutes after appearing on the field, he failed to interrupt the casting into the penalty against Pedro and only straightened the ball to it. And the Brazilian made a discount on almost empty gates to Sobolev. This time, the Russian was already distinguished by all the rules. Along the way, he extended the effective series in all tournaments to three games and was noted by the fourth naked in a roster of Petersburgers. After this, the inconspicuous Mateo Kascerra woke up. First, he hit the post from an offsay, and then sent a shell to the grid after the rally of the corner and neat cross all the same Pedro. On this, the fate of the confrontation was decided.
