FC Orenburg 0-4 CSKA Moscow
Wednesday 8 July, Gazovik Stadium

Goals: CSKA - Chalov (33’), Vlasic (58’), Shchennikov (78’), Oblyakov (90+4’)

Man of the Match: Nikola Vlasic (CSKA Moscow)

Fedor Chalov and Nikola Vlasic assisted each other to put CSKA Moscow firmly in control against FC Orenburg, before Georgi Shchennikov and Ivan Oblyakov completed the rout. The margin could have been greater but a penalty decision was reversed after a VAR review.

After eight months without scoring, Chalov scored his second in two games after half an hour, finishing first time from Vlasic’s run and pass inside.

CSKA’s number nine returned the favour with a clever flick behind himself to release CSKA’s top goalscorer into space inside the Orenburg area. With a couple of touches to steady himself, he picked his spot low into the far corner for his 10th RPL goal of the season.

Georgi Shchennikov increased the advantage with a simple finish from inside the area when left completely free, leaving Oblyakov to turn in the fourth with the last touch of the match.

FC Orenburg are at home again next, this time against FC Rostov on Sunday 12 July, while CSKA Moscow are at home to Rubin Kazan on the same day.
