"Zenit" has assumed the front position in the RPL competition.
A Fresh Spin:
In a thrilling turn of events, Zenit St. Petersburg trounced Ural 4-1, claiming a much-needed victory in the 20th round of the Russian Premier League, away from home. The resilient squad, led by coach Sergei Semak, notched goals from Douglas Santos, Andrei Mostovoy, Mateo Cassierra, and Ivan Sergeev, while Erik Bikfalvi managed to score Ural's lone goal in response.
Today's victory, coupled with Krasnodar's 1-2 defeat to Rostov yesterday, catapulted Zenit to the top of the league standings for the first time in quite some time. With 40 points after 20 games, Zenit now enjoys a slight lead over Krasnodar's 39 points. Moscow's Dinamo trails in third place with 35 points following 19 games.
It's worth noting that Zenit's Mateo Cassierra continues to lead the scoring race with 15 goals, six more than his nearest competitors, including John Cordoba of Krasnodar.
Up next for Zenit, as the new league leaders, is a match against Wings of the Soviets, scheduled for March 31 in Samara. Before that, Zenit will joust against fellow competitors Dinamo in the return leg of the Russian Cup on March 13. Their previous encounter ended in a 0-1 loss for Zenit in the capital.
