Zenit Saint Petersburg defeated Spartak Moscow 4‑2 on penalties after a 1‑1 draw in the Russia Super Cup final held in Nizhny Novgorod. Former Trabzonspor striker Felipe Augusto entered the match in the 59th minute, replacing Wilmar Barrios, and later stepped up in the shootout to score the decisive penalty.
