Events
Match Events
- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — FK Rostov and FK Spartak Moskva get this one started.
- 5' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 8' A stunning finish from Roman Zobnin — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 13' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 18' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 23' Ruslan Litvinov is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for FK Rostov so far.
- 28' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 33' FK Spartak Moskva come into this ranked 6 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 38' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FK Spartak Moskva that had 354 games and scored 415 goals.
- 40' A moment of madness from Alexander Djiku on 40 minutes earns him a card. FK Spartak Moskva will be frustrated.
- 42' Magnificent from Mohammad Mohebi! That is 17 goals in 319 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 46' The whistle greets Igor Dmitriev as he departs to be replaced by Pablo Solari.
- 51' FK Rostov seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 55' FK Spartak Moskva ring the changes. Roman Zobnin has done his job and it is now time for Daniil Denisov to step up.
- 57' Ivan Komarov is replacing Konstantin Kuchaev for the FK Rostov side.

- 66' A change in the FK Rostov ranks — David Semenchuk exits the field as Oumar Sako enters on 66.
- 71' Aleksey Mironov has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 4 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 76' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Konstantin Kuchaev suffering a number of foals already.
- 80' The FK Spartak Moskva manager makes a substitution. Ezequiel Barco departs to be replaced by Christopher Martins.
- 81' Levi Garcia is ready to make an impact after coming on for Manfred Ugalde at the 81 minute mark.
