Baltika vs Zenit. Who will get the trophy?
On June 2 in the Superfinal of the Russian Cup, the teams Baltika and Zenit will meet. The fight will be hosted by the Luzhniki Arena (Moscow).
The Kaliningrad team failed to remain among the elite of Russian football, despite the high-quality football they demonstrated in the spring. In the championship, Sergei Ignashevich’s boys finished in 15th place, and will begin the new season in the “best league in the world” - the FNL. The Kaliningraders failed at the end of the RPL, losing 4 of their last games. At the same time, the club left out Akhmat, Krylya Sovetov, Lokomotiv, CSKA, Rostov and Spartak in the cup. The “People's Team” was beaten one step before the final, 1:0 in Kaliningrad. Andrade turned out to be the hero of the meeting as part of the Baltic team.
The Baltics are 100% committed to the cup this season.
Zenit
Zenit, despite everything, is habitually the champion of Russia; in recent years, the team has accustomed everyone to its dominance. If we talk about the Russian Cup, then there are already five of them in the collection of St. Petersburg residents. Over the weekend, the St. Petersburg team defeated Rostov 2:1 at home, became the champion and extended the contract with Sergei Semak at the stadium. In the Russian Cup, the “anti-aircraft gunners”, although with problems, were moving towards the finals. On their way to the final, Zenit passed Akhmat, Krylia Sovetov, Dynamo Moscow and Spartak.
Finally, in the semi-finals they beat another capital giant CSKA (1:1, 1:0), and achieved success in a penalty shootout.
