Ivan Sergeev, who turned 31 on May 11, has responded to Zenit St. Petersburg’s public birthday wishes following his goal against Krasnodar. “It’s nice. But I haven’t seen that post yet,” the Dynamo Moscow striker said. “The team congratulated me — that’s the main thing. It’s great that my family and close friends reached out. I haven’t even picked up my phone yet. The most important thing is that my relatives called me in the morning. Thank you very much for showing me [the Zenit message]. I spent three years there, and I’m very grateful.”
Sergeev’s stoppage-time goal (90+3′) secured a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory for Dynamo over Krasnodar in the 29th round of the Russian Premier League.
