CSKA Moscow 3-1 Dynamo Moscow
Sunday 18 October, VEB Arena

Goals: CSKA - Kuchaev (51), Ejuke (54), Diveev (67); Dynamo - Moro (57)

Man of the Match: Igor Akinfeev (CSKA)

CSKA cruised to a commanding 3-1 derby win over Dynamo thanks to Konstantin Kuchaev, Chidera Ejuke and Igor Diveev. Dynamo hit back via Nikola Moro in the middle of a hectic 16-minute spell in the second half, but by then Kuchaev’s beautifully judged chip and a well-placed shot through a crowd of defenders from Ejuke had put the hosts in command. Diveev finished off a scrappy third before Roman Evgenyev was sent off for a second booking with 15 minutes remaining.

CSKA go back up to third place on 22 points, while Dynamo stay seventh on 17 points.
