This Tuesday, Malmö drew 1-1 against Zenit in the group stage of the Champions League with goals from Soren Reiks and Yuroslav Rakitsiky at the Eleda Stadion, a result that leaves the team of the Peruvian Sergio Peña with almost no chance of qualifying for the Europa League or advancing to the Champions League round of 16.
The first goal came in the 28th minute of the match after a great combination play that ended with a goal from Soren Reiks in favor of Malmo. However, in the second half, Zenit had more ball possession and shots on target than the home team, gradually approaching the opponent's area.
In the 53rd minute, Artem Dyzuba had the opportunity to score a penalty goal for Zenit. However, he missed the target and lost the chance to equalize the match. In the final minutes, when the match seemed to be ending in favor of Malmö, Dmitri Christiakov was sent off by Zenit.
However, the goal would come in the 92nd minute of the match from Yuroslav Rakitsiky with a dramatic goal almost at the end of the game. With this result, Malmo is last in Group H with only one point, behind Zenit (4), Juventus (12), and Chelsea FC (12).
