The 22nd round of the Russian Premier League turned out to be difficult for the championship contenders. A blunder by goalkeeper Denis Adamov prevented Zenit from beating Krylya Sovetov in Samara.

The silence of VAR in the moment of a foul on Anton Zinkovsky helped Ural in Moscow defend a draw in the match with Spartak. Baltika scored twice against Nizhny Novgorod and broke the winless and goalless streak that had lasted since October last year. Volga's head coach Sergei Yuran took his anger out on camera.
