http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Rostov-c39192: Russian Premier League
In the latest round of Russian Premier League action, reigning champions and league leaders Zenit St. Petersburg won 3-1 against FC Rostov at Olimp-2 stadium.
Zenit striker, Aleksandr Bukharov, is of the belief that the Meshki deserved the win against the Selmashi despite a weaker second half performance.
The Orly failed to hold off the Bomzhi attacks as the Spartak defence was being terrorized by the Zenit strikers throughout the first half. The Selmashi managed to concede three goals during the first half while scoring a second half consolation goal themselves.
In the absence of leading Zenit goal scorer, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aleksandr-Kerzhakov-c4569, Bukharov kept the defenders on their toes. The former Rubin Kazan player managed to get his name on the score sheet with a neat finish.
The Russian Cup winner expressed his delight after scoring against the Orly and thanked http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aleksandar-Lukovic-c4481 for providing him with the assist. He highlighted that the team win was more important to him and assured the fans of similar performances in the remaining
matches of the season.
Speaking on his performance, he said: “I am very pleased to score. I think this goal will give me confidence and I will continue to score more often.”
The former FC Krasnodar front man revealed that he was not feeling well and measured his temperature before starting the game against the White-Reds. Bukharov admitted that he was tired after playing back-to-back matches against Dynamo Moscow and Shakhtar
Donetsk in week.
Spartak conceded a penalty on the 15th minute mark. However, Bukharov could not take the spot kick as the Serbian defender, Aleksandr Lukovic, pleaded the forward to give him a chance.
“I went to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danny-c10193, who usually take the penalties, and said that I want to score. He agreed but then I was approached by Lukovic who requested me to give him a chance on his birthday.” Bukharov concluded.
Bukharov revealed that he is satisfied with the result and tipped his side to retain the league title under http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luciano-c22574 Spalletti.
Zenit are currently at the top spot on the league table and lead the second-place CSKA Moscow by two points. Bukharov urged his teammates to gear up and focus on the upcoming league encounter against Volga Nizhny Novgorod.
