In the final match of the twenty-second round of the Russian Women's Premier League, Zenit Petersburg lost to its guest Chertanovo with a score of 1-2, after the Ukrainian players scored a rare goal in the world of football. The match was at Zenit Academy Stadium, where the match witnessed a fatal error by Zenit's goalkeeper, Natalia Voskopović, in the 86th minute, giving Chertanovo the opportunity to score the winning goal.
As Voskubovich attempted to return to the penalty area, it went off course near the touchline, shooting the ball towards the middle of the field. Chertanovo's player, Arina Akatayeva, took advantage of the chaos and diverted the ball directly into the net, before the goalkeeper returned to her place. This mistake changed the course of the match, as the result turned from a draw to a victory for Chertanovo, which raised the team’s score to 27 points and moved it closer to seventh place in the league standings.
On the other hand, Zenit remains in the lead with 53 points, one point ahead of runner-up CSKA Moscow, despite the defeat in its last 20 Premier League matches this season. This victory highlights the importance of decisive moments in matches, especially when they include goalkeeper errors that could change the course of the match.
On the other hand, the twelfth round of the Russian Premier League witnessed other exciting matches, including the match between Zenit Petersburg and Dinamo Makhachkala, which ended with a 2-1 victory for Dinamo on penalty kicks, as well as the CSKA Moscow match against Spartak, which ended with a 2-0 win for CSKA, which reflects the intensity of the competition in the league.
