Zenit were forced to play most of the game with 10 men as Melvja was sent off on 11 minutes for a professional foul. Zenit went behind on 37 and 43 minutes and the match looked bleak at half-time.

Kuzyaev's introduction on 55 minutes seemed to turn things around and Zenit scored two quick-fire goals, through Paredes (61) and Poloz (62) but the game then drifted into extra time. In the dying moments of the game Kaplenko gave away a penalty and Kolishev made no mistake from the spot to send Dynamo through to the next stage of the Russian Cup.
