Being the only undefeated team in the Champions League group stage with an absolute run of five wins in five games, Zenit is showing a different side in the Russian league.
With CSKA’s loss last week, the Blue-White-Sky blues saw their hopes of climbing at the top increasing again; but only for a week. Terek Grozny put on a great performance and produced the emphatic 4-1 over the defending champions. Terek’s two-goal lead was shortened from Hulk’s goal but was immediately regained after seconds.
Evseev was shown the red card (for a mistimed challenge) minutes after he was introduced and Terek’s last goal to a 4-1 final result, ended a disappointing night for St. Petersburg.
