Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg and PFC CSKA Moskva is underway.
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' A quiet spell here at Gazprom Arena. FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 15' Igor Akinfeev has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 19' Sardar Azmoun doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 24' It’s a booking for PFC CSKA Moskva player. Konstantin Maradishvili gets a Yellow card.
  • 26' What an equalizer from Nikola Vlasic!
  • 31' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 33' Nikola Vlasic catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 33.
  • 34' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Igor Diveev.
  • 39' The home supporters are growing impatient. FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 44' FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 2 meetings.
  • 46' PFC CSKA Moskva make a change. Kirill Nababkin trudges off to be replaced by Viktor Vasin on 46 minutes.
  • 51' The 28-year-old Konstantin Kuchaev has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 56' Sebastian Driussi has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 3 goals to his name this season.

  • 59' The referee shows FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg player a Yellow card on 59.
  • 64' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 69' What a moment for Sardar Azmoun! That strike on 69 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 74' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. PFC CSKA Moskva needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 79' 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 Viktor Vasin suffering a number of foals already.
  • 81' A change in the PFC CSKA Moskva ranks — Nikola Vlasic exits the field as Arnor Sigurdsson enters on 81.
  • 86' 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.
  • 89' Time for substitution for FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg. Sardar Azmoun is replaced by Aleksandr Erokhin.
  • 90' Ivan Oblyakov has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 90.

  • PFC CSKA Moskva will have plenty to reflect on. FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg were simply the better side today.
