Russian Cup
CSKA thanks to the victory over the “Ufa” with the score 2: 0 Russia reached the semifinal of the Cup. For the right to play in the final match CSKA will compete with the “Krasnodar”, which was stronger, “Terek”, giving a minimum score.
A couple of CSKA – “Ufa” CSKA, of course, considered the favorite. But be that as it may, and an easy walk team Leonid Slutsky could hardly count. After all, if you look at the statistics of meetings of soldiers and Ufimtsev, it becomes clear that most of them were formed for CSKA challenge. Yes, there was crushing victory (5: 0) in the autumn of the year before, but the rest of the “Ufa” looked steadily at the background CSKA gangbusters.
The first half of the match, in principle, confirmed hopes of a difficult confrontation. However, it was not so easy, not only for the players but also for the spectators, who had to wait out a solid temporary pause to see what appeared to be a dangerous moment. Yes, CSKA, for the first time in an official match came Roman Shirokov, tried to create chances, but nothing really dangerous guests are not able to arrange. A unique, perhaps a bad moment at the gate “Ufa” happened after the hosts goalkeeper Giorgi Shelia played uncertainly at the outlet, releasing a light ball from his hands. Fortunately for “Ufa”, next to one of the soldiers was not there. At the same time she “Ufa” gate Igor Akinfeev quite threatened, as in the moment when, after a pin Marcin Akinfeev parried the ball to the feet Sylvester Ibgunu, guests obviously lucky.
At the beginning of the second half, Marcinho has become a direct culprit missed his moment of command. A minute later, CSKA went ahead. And it is symbolic that the first goal of the army in official matches after the winter break spent Roman Shirokov: long-range strike playmaker Russian team was so exquisitely executed that Shelii had no chance to control the ball.
“Ufa”, being in the role of catch-up, was forced open, for that very soon paid the price, allowing to organize CSKA so impressive combination of that goal, Ahmed Musa (preceded passage Tosic, pass Roman Shirokov, Alan Dzagoev and cross one more connection to the attack Tosic) can lay claim to being one of the most beautiful of the season. As a result, CSKA won with a score of 2: 0 and reached the semifinal of the Russian Cup.
Rival army determined the semi-finals in the opposition, “Krasnodar” and “Terek”. The first half of this match, as well as in the meeting of CSKA and “Ufa”, took place, as they say, without moments and goalkeeper comes into play only in rescue situations.
In the second half the game went alive, but still call it a truly fascinating was not easy. Although the points were still. For example, Dmitri Torbinski and Pavel Mamaev built an episode in which the goalkeeper, “Terek” Eugene policeman had to work hard in order to avert the threat from their gates. “Terek” said a sharp attack, which from the vantage point could effectively complete Oleg Ivanov.
As a result, it came to extra time at the end of which the “Krasnodar” defender Andreas Granqvist finally scored the winning goal.
Recall that on Sunday in the 1/2 finals came “Zenith”, which took over the “Kuban”. The opponent will be determined today in St. Petersburg Perm, where the local “Amkar” Takes Moscow “Dynamo”.
