Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Kazan Arena will turn into a battlefield for FK Rubin Kazan and PFC CSKA Moskva.
- 5' The referee calls foul for Igor Vujacic. He receives a card.
- 10' Dmitry Barinov has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 30 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
- 20' It’s high time Fabio Celestini made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 25' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Danila Kozlov made 394 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 27' It’s a booking for FK Rubin Kazan player. Nikita Lobov gets a card.
- 32' FK Rubin Kazan 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.
- 37' It looks surprising FK Rubin Kazan does not make any changes. Jacques Siwe has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 42' Supporters expect more eagerness from Egor Teslenko, as he is very good at scoring at Kazan Arena with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
- 46' The FK Rubin Kazan manager makes a substitution. Nikita Lobov departs to be replaced by Denil Maldonado.
- 51' It’s a booking for PFC CSKA Moskva player. Kirill Danilov gets a card.
- 56' The travelling PFC CSKA Moskva supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 61' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FK Rubin Kazan needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

- 66' Another substitution for PFC CSKA Moskva to replace Matija Popovic by Matheus Reis on 66 minute.
- 71' 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 Anderson Arroyo suffering a number of foals already.
- 72' The supporters are chanting for Danila Kozlov. He replaces Moises on 72 minute.
- 77' It looks like no one’s ball. PFC CSKA Moskva is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 80' Dmitriy Kabutov has so much to prove this time. He replaces Anderson Arroyo on 80 minute.
- 85' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 86' The referee calls foul for Ignacio Saavedra. He receives a card.
- 86' Time for substitution for FK Rubin Kazan. Ilya Rozhkov is replaced by Konstantin Nizhegorodov.
