- 10' Abbosbek Fayzullaev needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 15' The deadlock is broken! Rifat Zhemaletdinov gets on the scoresheet on 15 minutes.
- 20' PFC CSKA Moskva is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 24' The referee shows FK Rubin Kazan player a card on 24.
- 29' Evgeniy Staver has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 30 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 34' Danil Krugovoy has been relatively quiet despite scoring 3 goals in his last 394 appearances.
- 39' It looks surprising FK Rubin Kazan does not make any changes. Ugochukwu Iwu has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 44' The travelling PFC CSKA Moskva supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 46' Aleksandr Zotov is replacing Valentin Vada for the FK Rubin Kazan side.
- 51' PFC CSKA Moskva is showing some good football. However, PFC CSKA Moskva are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 55' Magnificent from Egor Teslenko! That is 3 goals in 208 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.

- 81' 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 Saul Guarirapa suffering a number of foals already.
- 86' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — FK Rubin Kazan 1-1 PFC CSKA Moskva.
