Carlos Zambrano

continues to accumulate minutes of play in the starting lineup of Rubin Kazan in Russia. The national defender participated in the 4-1 defeat against Zenit. However, he had a remarkable participation. Thanks to him, his team found the consolation goal.

Around the 86th minute, Carlos Zambrano picked up the ball that was rejected by the opposing defense. The 'Lion' - very close to the edge of the penalty area - evaded a defender and delivered a precise pass to his teammate Jonathas, who scored the honor goal.

In the course of the match, the former Eintracht Frankfurt player received a yellow card for a strong tackle. Despite the scandalous result, the Peruvian seeks to consolidate himself in Javi García's usual scheme.

Carlos Zambrano

did not have a very good start at Rubin Kazan. Due to arriving late for pre-season, he had to exert more effort to be considered. He spent several matches as a substitute. Now, he enjoys the trust of the Spanish coach. His goal is to return to the national team to face the remaining matches of the Russia 2018 Qualifiers.
