Zenit San Petersburgo 1:2 Rodina Moscow — Informe del Partido

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Artur Gharibyan scored twice as Rodina Moscow came from behind to beat Zenit St. Petersburg 2-1 in the Premier Liga. Maksim Glushenkov had given the hosts an early lead, but the visitors turned the game on its head inside six second-half minutes to claim a remarkable upset on the road.

Glushenkov put Zenit ahead in the 23rd minute, but Rodina refused to fold and Gharibyan levelled in the 59th minute after Stanislav Bessmertniy's assist. The forward then struck again just six minutes later, converting Soltmurad Bakaev's pass, with a VAR check in the 63rd minute confirming the second goal stood. Wendel's first-half booking summed up Zenit's growing frustration as they pushed in vain for an equaliser.

The numbers tell a brutal story for the home side: Zenit dominated possession with 66% and fired 21 shots to Rodina's seven, yet still lost. They controlled the second half just as firmly, with 70% of the ball, but Gharibyan's clinical finishing proved decisive. The forward earned an 8.7 rating for his two goals, a performance that dragged his side to victory despite being outplayed. CheckLive's model rated Zenit marginally ahead, and the result did not confirm it.
