Hulk screamer against Kuban gives Zenit 8 point lead in the Russian Premier League
Sunday, November 23 2014 by SNTV-
Intro:
A stunning strike from Brazilian international Hulk was enough to earn Russian Premier League leaders Zenit St. Petersburg victory against Kuban Krasnodar on Saturday (November 22).
Script:
Newly reappointed Kuban Krasnodar manager Leonid Kuchuk did not have the best of debut matches. His team's loss against Zenit St. Petersburg on Saturday further secured the leaders' position at the top of the Russian Premier League.
Kuban did manage to creating some attacking chances in the first half. Sekou Oliseh attempted an impressive long-range shot through a stream of Zenit defence, but his shot was saved by Lodygin.
Kuban's hopes were crushed in the 36th minute, when Hulk's free kick initially hit the wall, but the Brazilian redeemed himself by firing the loose ball into the net to open the score.
The second half did not fare well for Kuban either. Rondon's thunderous run posed a dangerous threat to the away side, but his shot was saved by Belenov.
Zenit now boast 35 points at the top of the Premier League, and are 8 points behind second place Krasnodar.
