Nizhny Novgorod 0-2 CSKA Moscow
Monday 27 September, Nizhny Novgorod Stadium

Goals: CSKA - Zaynutdinov 31', Akhmetov (pen) 63'
Man of the Match: Baktiyor Zaynutdinov (CSKA) 

Baktiyor Zaynutdinov's extraordinary finish on the half-hour mark set CSKA Moscow on course for a routine win in Nizhny Novgorod. 

Chidera Ejuke's tricky wing play allowed him to cut a low cross towards Nizhny Novgorod keeper Ruslan Nigmatullin, but Zaynutdinov contorted his body to get in front and deflect the ball in with his back. 

After the break, Ilzat Akhmetov was tripped in the box to win a penalty, that he himself stepped up to convert. 

Nizhny Novgorod remain 10th on 11 points, while CSKA move up to fifth on 16 points.

Next RPL fixtures: Saturday 2 October - Rubin vs Nizhny Novgorod; CSKA vs Krasnodar
