Hundreds of fans lined the streets outside the Zenit Arena stadium and greeted the team bus by discharging flares to create a fiery red wall as their squad passed them slowly, on their way to face the visiting rivals. The pyrotechnics performance probably had some reinvigorating effect, as Zenit went on to secure a 3-1 win and a place in the final 16.
