Rangers tried to push forward after the break but in doing so left themselves exposed to Zenit’s swift counter-attacks.
Zenit finally found a way to beat Alexander when Denisov and playmaker Arshavin split the Rangers defence through the middle with the former slotting the ball home from eight metres. Konstantin Zyrianov hit the post from close range a few minutes later before the midfielder converted Tekke’s cross in added time after a fine passing move to spark a Russian party.
