Saavedra, from Talleres, shared with Kovalenko, from the second half. The second was already preparing to beat a full-back when the referee prevented him from shooting and gave possession of the ball to the away team. Then the players of the Argentine team attacked Kovalenko. To add to the confusion, the referee took the ball from the hands of the Zenit athlete.

Then, another Zenit player was surrounded by four opponents on the sidelines, causing widespread confusion. Russians and Argentines exchanged blows, and three players were sent off. Alip, from Zenit; Herrera and Rubén Botta, from Talleres.

The judge didn’t want to pay to see it and ended the match right there, in the final phase.

Winner of the friendly, Zenit has eight Brazilians. In addition to Mantovano, the club has Claudinho, Nino, Douglas Santos, Wendel, Rodrigão, Artur and Pedrinho. All related to the explosive clash this weekend. The duel was just a pre-season friendly for the European team.
