16' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
21' It is a cagey affair so far. PFC CSKA Moskva in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past PFK Sochi's compact 3-4-3.
26' Gustavo Furtado is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for PFC CSKA Moskva tonight.
31' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 3-4-3 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
