Krasnodar struck first in the sixth minute from the 12-yard-spot. Maxim Azarenko putting away the penalty. Our U17s drew level on 14 minutes Mikhailovsky reacting quickest in the box after a short scramble for the ball. 

Numerous chances fell our way, but it was Daniil Kuznetsov eventually heading home a chance of the stroke of half time to put Zenit 2-1 ahead and that's how the game stayed until full time. 

Zenit U17s are now on 23 points and move up to sixth in the standings. Igor Lebedev’s team's next match is at home on 4 April against league leaders Chertanovo.
