Nigeria’s Emmanuel Dennis and Charles De Ketelaere scored the goals as Philippe Clement’s men silenced the Russian Premier League title holders at Krestovsky Stadium.
The Belgians took the lead in the 63rd minute after Dennis followed up on De Ketelaere’s blocked shot to slot the ball past goalkeeper Mikhail Kerzhakov.
Eleven minutes later, Zenit got the equaliser as Dejan Lovren’s shot from distance struck the post before rebounding off goalkeeper Ethan Horvath to sail into the net.
With the game heading for a no winner, no vanquished note, De Ketelaere had the final say with a late effort thanks to an assist from captain Ruud Vormer.
