“During the first half, everything suited us, but, unfortunately, in the second half we missed a quick goal. The removal of Douglas Santos also influenced the course of the meeting, so it was difficult to count on a positive result, ”the official Zenit website quotes the expert.
According to Semak, the actions of the Zenit players in the second half of the match with Benfica, in which the Russian team conceded three goals, were not affected by the result of the parallel match between the French Lyon and the German RB Leipzig.
“The question is errors. We missed the ball, remained in the minority, playing away against a strong opponent, so it’s difficult to count on anything, ”he added.
Earlier it was reported that the “Zenith” lost to the Portuguese “Benfica” and flew out of the European competition.
