Match recap
Zenit secured a narrow 1-0 victory over FC Rostov in a tightly contested Premier League fixture. The game was largely an even affair, with both sides creating limited clear-cut opportunities in a cagey first half. Zenit eventually broke the deadlock after the interval, capitalising on one of their few sustained periods of pressure. Rostov pushed for an equaliser in the final stages, demonstrating admirable spirit but ultimately lacking the cutting edge to trouble the Zenit defence. This hard-fought win maintains Zenit's strong position at the top of the league table, while Rostov will rue a missed chance to gain ground on their rivals, though their defensive resilience offers some encouragement.
