Resovia gave up this match. The result might have been different if they might just believed in their skills. Congratulations to Kazan!

David that’s the difference between big teams and developing teams like Resovia, it was Zenit’s fifth consecutive final four appearance.if Zenit and Resovia plays 10 times again , zenit will win 9 out of 10
