In the first half, our players missed a good long-range shot by the opponent. Throughout the game, the Lazio players conducted the match in their usual manner, scoring goals to the opponent from afar.
The Zenit players tried their best, but they could not get closer to the opponent's mark in the score. In the second half, the game began with an unfavorable penalty kick for St. Petersburg. This strike set the tone for the entire second half of the game. During the match, Zenit missed a lot of chances at their gates, which is explained by the lack of choice of defenders in the club. As for Lazio, the players of this team are recognized masters of long-range strikes.
According to the results of the match, Zenit failed to get out of the group for the second time. However, according to the head coach of the team Sergey Semak, this is not a failure for the club, but a reality. The two main leaders of the team were out of shape, so this outcome of the game and the position of the team is quite expected.
According to Sergey Semak, in the games of the Champions League this season, there is a change in the limit, as well as an increase in the number of injured players. Because of this, the teams are limited in choosing the composition and carrying out substitutions.
