Match14 Nov 2026

17 unbeaten for Zenit

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 17 matches without defeat is a foundation Zenit did not have in the autumn.

Squad16 Nov 2026

The knee: Danil Lukiyan out for 17 days

17 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Zenit lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Kirill Kosarev: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Zenit have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad16 Nov 2026

Tempers go at Zenit

Maxim Glushenkov was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match14 Nov 2026

After 8 games, Zenit finally taste it again

The first defeat in 8 matches. The manager will say it had to come; the dressing room will say it did not have to come against Lokomotiv Moscow; the supporters will say both, in that order, all week.

Match14 Nov 2026

The run at home goes on for Zenit

10 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Squad16 Nov 2026

Gustavo Mantuan signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Gustavo Mantuan commits to Zenit for another 5 years.

The terraces16 Nov 2026

The crowd has taken to Román Vega

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Squad16 Nov 2026

7 Zenit players away with their countries

The training ground goes quiet for a fortnight. 7 men have gone off to be somebody else’s players, and the manager is left with the ones nobody has called.

In brief

  • Player ratings A masterclass from Román Vega
  • Looking ahead Top-of-the-table clash for Zenit
  • The dugout A promise honoured for Igoh Ogbu

Squad9 Nov 2026

The knee: Danil Lukiyan out for 24 days

24 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Zenit lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Match7 Nov 2026

Zenit cannot stop winning

8 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Felipe Augusto is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.55 with 21 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Felipe Augusto takes the match ball home

3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Player ratings9 Nov 2026

Maxim Glushenkov runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 27. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Maxim Glushenkov in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Zenit this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market9 Nov 2026

Wílmar Barrios wants more than Zenit are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Player ratings9 Nov 2026

One of those days for Felipe Augusto

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.65, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Match7 Nov 2026

The run at home goes on for Zenit

9 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Squad2 Nov 2026

The knee: Danil Lukiyan out for 32 days

32 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Zenit lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Match31 Oct 2026

Zenit tear Baltika apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 5‑1 against Baltika, and it could have been more.

Match31 Oct 2026

Nobody wants to play Zenit right now

7 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

A brace, and Felipe Augusto takes the afternoon — 8.82

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Felipe Augusto provided it, and the 8.82 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Match2 Nov 2026

The view from the top for Zenit

36 points, and the rest of the division looking up. Every side that finishes first spends the season pretending it is not thinking about it, and this one has started pretending.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

No sign of nerves from Pedro at 20 — 8.27

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Pedro did not need any: 8.27, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Market2 Nov 2026

Román Vega hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Zenit can pretend not to have heard.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Defences have started doubling up on Felipe Augusto

18 goals and a season average of 7.46 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Market2 Nov 2026

Maxim Glushenkov wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Zenit hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

In brief
