- 5' Over 5 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 9' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Jesus Medina makes it 1-0.
- 14' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 16' Aleksandr Selyava has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 16.
- 17' Fedor Chalov makes no mistake. The score reads 2-0 and PFC CSKA Moskva are in front.
- 22' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 25' Willyan Rocha has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 25 minutes.
- 27' FK Rostov make a change. Aleksandr Selyava trudges off to be replaced by Aleksey Mironov on 27 minutes.

- 89' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Aleksandr Silyanov.
