The CSKA Moscow midfielder started the initial first game brightly, netting two goals early on before connectivity issues sent us into a second game.
Dzyuba was then quickly out the gate against his opponent as he got himself ahead in the 4th minute thanks to a freak goal from the alert Sardar Azmoun.
Things got better for Zenit in the 15th minute as Azmoun sliced open CSKA’s defence to find Malcom down the wing, who produced a lovely cross to square it to Dzyuba who tapped in for Zenit’s second. This made it 2-2 on aggregate.
Zenit continued to run the show in the second game, as just 4 minutes later Malcom continued to be more of a nuisance down the right hand flank, beating his man with ease and squaring across the box to the back post where Driussi tapped home and made it a 3-2 lead.
The goals didn’t stop there however, Dzyuba scored again with himself just 9 minutes later to put the blue-white-sky-blues up by four goals to two after just 28 minutes in-game.
CSKA did manage to pull another one back with their first real attack of the second game to make it 4-3 going into half time. Dzyuba’s defending ability collapsed and allowed Arnór Sigurðsson an easy tap in which was assisted by Chalov.
The second half was less intense from Dzyuba’s side however chances beckoned for the likes of Azmoun as he glanced a header just over the bar.
The fifth and final goal of the match came in the 69th minute as a beautifully weighted ball by Azmoun set through Artem Dzyuba who beat his man and calmly scored to secure his hat-trick of the match and make it 5-3.
The next Zenit eFootball PES 2020 for Artem Dzyuba will be against Krylia Sovetov, which can be seen live on the club’s VK page.
