Events

Match Events

0' It’s Showtime! The match between PFC CSKA Moskva and FK Nizhny Novgorod is underway.
5' 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.
10' FK Nizhny Novgorod is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
15' Maksim Shnaptsev has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
20' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
25' 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 Miralem Pjanic suffering a number of foals already.
30' The travelling FK Nizhny Novgorod supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
35' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His PFC CSKA Moskva side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
39' Ivan Oblyakov adds to his 6 season tally! PFC CSKA Moskva lead 1-0 — and this changes everything.
44' The energy levels are beginning to show. Marko Nikolic might look to freshen things up shortly.
49' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering PFC CSKA Moskva that had 407 games and scored 423 goals.
54' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 54 minutes.
59' A tactical swap from FK Nizhny Novgorod — Thiago Vecino on, Vyacheslav Grulev off on 59 minutes.
64' A quiet spell here at VEB Arena. FK Nizhny Novgorod seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
69' FK Nizhny Novgorod manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Valeriy Tsarukyan is hanging Aleksandr Ektov on the field on 69 minute.
74' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
76' Abbosbek Fayzullaev gets the nod from PFC CSKA Moskva. He replaces Kirill Glebov and will look to change the dynamic.
81' FK Nizhny Novgorod started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 81.
82' PFC CSKA Moskva make a change. Sekou Koita trudges off to be replaced by Alerrandro on 82 minutes.
87' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
90' Assisted by Abbosbek Fayzullaev with the perfectly-timed delivery and Artem Shumanskiy makes no mistake. 2-0!
90' Another change for PFC CSKA Moskva made on 90 minute. Miralem Pjanic leaves to be changed by Artem Bandikyan.
The referee brings this contest to a close. PFC CSKA Moskva take all three points.
