Aleksey Mironov, a player of "Rostov," recently commented on the match that took place. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
He shared his thoughts on the game between his team and St. Petersburg's "Zenit." According to Mironov, he did not notice the double motivation from both sides.
He genuinely thought that "Zenit" would enter the field with a different mindset for the game. This is because "Zenit" considers this season an important festive period for themselves.
In the match, "Zenit" was behind for a long time. Only in the second half did the St. Petersburg team score two goals and return with three points.
This result was complicated for "Rostov." In the second round, "Zenit" will face a challenge in Kazan.
There, they will play against the local "Rubin." This team recently defeated "Akhmat" away with a score of 2:0.
This match is expected to be difficult for "Zenit." The teams are ready to showcase their strengths.
