Events
Match Events

- 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Douglas Santos, as he is very good at scoring at Gazprom Arena with 3 goals in the last 3 games.
- 10' The travelling PFC CSKA Moskva supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 15' Ilya Agapov is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for PFC CSKA Moskva so far.
- 20' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 25' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Anton Zabolotnyi on 25 minutes.
- 28' It’s a booking for FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg player. Douglas Santos gets a card.
- 33' Both keepers have barely been tested. FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg and PFC CSKA Moskva are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 38' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 43' Russia international Vyacheslav Karavaev has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 47' Poor challenge from Moises. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
- 52' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg and PFC CSKA Moskva are desperate not to drop points on matchday .

- 58' Fedor Chalov doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.

- 65' Another substitution for PFC CSKA Moskva to replace Ilya Agapov by Khellven on 65 minute.
- 70' 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 Sasa Zdjelar suffering a number of foals already.
