Axel Witsel and Hulk gave the win over Brondby three days ago and it was another Belgian with the Bralizian that gave Zenit a two goal lead this time against Norkopping for the Atlantic Cup in Algarve, Portugal.
Nico Lombaerts converted Hulk’s assist with a header for the 1-0 (15′) with the forward turning scorer 8 minutes later after a beautiful pass from Shatov.
Few changes from Villas Boas gave Norrkoping the chance to equalize within the same time frame that Zenit got their lead and it was game on; 2-2 after an hour of gameplay.
Danny who was introduced minutes earlier, put St. Petersburg back into the driver’s seat, with a beautiful goal after playing the 1-2 with Hulk and with Norrkoping not able for another comeback, saw Zenit reaching the final of the Atlantic Cup where they will face Orebro on Sunday 7th February.
