Zenit secured a comfortable 2-0 victory over Spartak Moskva in a match defined by penalty conversions and tactical discipline. The hosts took control just before halftime when Aleksandr Sobolev converted from the spot after earning the penalty himself, setting the tone for a dominant display. Zenit's second-half substitutions proved decisive, with Jhon Durán sealing the victory with another penalty conversion nine minutes after coming on. The result continues Zenit's solid form and puts further pressure on Spartak, who struggled to create clear chances throughout and saw their discipline deteriorate with multiple bookings in a frustrating afternoon.
