First Half Highlights
Zenit St. Petersburg are the 2008 UEFA Cup Winners. The Russian side defeated a few minutes ago, Glasgow Rangers in the Final hosted at the City of Manchester Stadium.
Rangers played its expected defensive game but managed to keep the match balanced during the first half, although Zenit had a clear ball possession advantage.
Zenit where clearly the better side in the second half. Arshavin’s chip triggered the alarm signal for the Scottish defense, but Papac manage to clear it from the goal line. A few minutes later Zenit scored the first goal with Igor Denisov scoring with a low shot from inside of the box.
Walter Smith’s squad needed to race for the equalizer and this was the moments when Rangers’ limits where seen. Zenit controlled the game on the counter-attacks. Nacho Novo, who was switched-in late in the game had a huge scoring chance in the 90th minute, but he sent a shot way over the crossbar from close range.
Konstantin Zyrianov closed the game in the added time after a superb Zenit attack. The UEFA Cup returns to Russia. Watch the highlights in the embedded videos.

Got something to say?
This team really deserved the trophy having played so well and annihilating Bayern along the way. Clinical is the word that describes their play. I even wonder why the Rangers were dubbed favorites… typical UK hype!
Why don’t all you Ranger Supporters Fuck Off Back to Jock Land - Loosing Shits - Leave Manchester Alone. You fucking scottish filth!!!!!! Come here again and you’ll be executed — wankers
Rangers were the favourites? I would have thought a fresh, fit team with 2 weeks off preparation with multi million pound players who have been favourites over a injury hit, tiring squad playing their 65th or so game of the season…
Next time Manchester wished to hold an event, maybe they should prepare better, 200,000 rangers fans and 0.01% caused trouble, there has been more arrests at the euros in one day than there was on the UEFA Cup final day…
