Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Zenit St. Petersburg beat Spartak Moscow 5-3 in the Super Cup final, with goalkeeper Denis Adamov the standout player despite his side conceding three goals. The match was a chaotic, high-scoring affair that belied the usual defensive solidity expected in a one-off final.

Spartak Moscow took the lead through Christopher Martins Pereira in the 25th minute, but Zenit's response was swift and decisive, with Aleksandr Sobolev equalising in the 90th minute to force penalties. The game saw a flurry of yellow cards, with Nuraly Alip, Nino, and Pedro Henrique all booked for Zenit, while Gedson Fernandes was cautioned for Spartak, and VAR was involved late on for a decision involving Zenit.

Spartak Moscow controlled possession (52% to 48%) and created more chances (10 shots to 8) and corners (5 to 2), outplaying Zenit over the 90 minutes but ultimately losing on penalties. Denis Adamov was the hero, earning a 7.7 rating as goalkeeper, though he was beaten three times in the match. The result was a narrow victory for Zenit on efficiency rather than dominance, and there is no next fixture to look ahead to.
