The team led by Sergey Semak achieved a clear victory with a score of 3:0. The goals were scored by Luis Enrique, who netted two goals, and Lusiano Gondo, who opened the scoring.

Such situations often occur in friendly matches. In the first round of the new season, "Zenit" will compete against the "Rostov" team at home. This game will take place in approximately three weeks.
Last season, the St. Petersburg team finished in second place in the Russian Premier League. Ahead of the season, the team is testing its form and tactics in this manner.
