Mostovoy criticized the format of the Russian Cup after Dynamo’s elimination from Spartak
Former national team footballer Alexander Mostovoy criticized the format of the Russian Cup. He shared his opinion on his Telegram channel “TSAR”.
“Thanks to the Cup format, Dynamo was relegated, and Spartak moves on. Which, by the way, just recently should have been relegated to Zenit just like Dynamo, right?” – he said. According to him, the organizers messed up with the format.
On May 1, Spartak beat Dynamo and reached the final of the Path of Regions of the Russian Cup. In the decisive match of the lower bracket, the red-whites will meet with Rostov or Baltika.
Since the 2022/2023 season, the double elimination system has been used in the Russian Cup. Thus, a club eliminated from the upper playoff bracket (RPL Path) can continue to fight in the lower bracket (Regional Path).
