The striker of St. Petersburg “Zenit” Alexander Sobolev entered into an emotional quarrel with the defender of Grozny “Akhmat” Kalid Sidibe after the final whistle of the match of the 11th round of the Russian Premier League. The angry striker had to hold three players at once.

At one point, blue-white-blue midfielder Wilmar Barrios even covered Soboleva's mouth in an attempt to stop the verbal altercation. The cause of the conflict between the players is not yet known.

The match itself was held on October 18 in St. Petersburg and ended with the victory of Zenit with a score of 3: 2. The hosts scored the decisive ball in the 90th minute. After 11 rounds, the team of Sergey Semak scored 24 points and headed the RPL standings. Akhmat with 11 points is located in 13th place.

Earlier, the former midfielder of the Russian national football team Alexander Mostovoy shared his opinion on the alignment of forces in the national championship after the completion of the next round. According to him, the main contender for gold medals remains the reigning champion - St. Petersburg Zenit. He noted that it is too early to draw conclusions about the prospects of Moscow “Spartak” for the title.

On October 9, a truly absurd and tense situation developed in Russian sports. On the one hand, the international federations are lifting discriminatory restrictions one by one. On the other hand, host countries are finding ways to keep our athletes out of competitions using a banal bureaucracy. A good example is the Russian gymnastics team, which right now risks losing its chance at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
