Kuzma Pugin will be the referee of today's match, he is born in Rossiya and a member of the Bashkortostan association. To be honest, this guy is a bot of a soft touch, and some players will be looking to get away with a bit of funny business tonight. Let's hope no one gets hurt, unlike the last time he whistled a match.

Min.3, Jorge Miguel Correa can't get away from Ciprian Alecsandrescu and loses the ball before he has the chance to send a cross in. Min.4, Gooooool !!!, Andrei Akinfeev scored and is now smiling lots. The score is now 1-0. The supporters are now behaving like complete hooligans after the first goal.

This goal will give them more self-confidence and faith in the match. Min.19, Lucas Escobedo has got some magic feet and shows us all his trickery to get into a great position in the box, unfortunately for him, he's a complete donkey and tripped over his twinkle toes and face planted the ball, which proceeds to roll out harmlessly for a goal kick. Min.31, Gooooool !!!, Yuri Denisov sent a long ball towards Dmitry Vlasov whose first touch takes him away from the defender and a beautiful finish past Dmitry Smotrov completes that basic route one move. So simple, yet so effective! The scoreboard is now 3-0. The fans were celebrating the victory over their arch rivals. The stadium kept on shouting the name of Dmitry Vlasov until the late hours of the night. There are even rumours that fans are planning on tattooing the name of the goal scorer. They are really crazy. Min.34, 'deviated kick of Vladimir Tikhonov, in a play which started by a great cross from the right side of Andrei Akinfeev and a wonderful head pass of Sofron Baranov right in front of an open goal. He failed ,miserably.'My blind 74-year old grandma would've even scored that'. Min.39, Goal !!!, Yuri Denisov makes a series of dummy's and turns giving him the space to pass the ball to Andrei Akinfeev who is open. He connects with a beautiful first touch, hitting an unstoppable shot straight towards the goal. The score now stands at 4-0. Min.44, Goooaaaaaaal !!!, Dmitry Vlasov did some good driblings from the center of the field going very close oponent goalkeeper but when everything seemed that the player was going to kick did a very good pass to Andrei Akinfeev, who only has to drive the ball into goal, who did the pass told with his mind 'Score you, because for me would be easier'. The scores now stand at 5-0. The home team can't believe it. The 'hand of god' strikes again. What a performance. The fans were partying all night along with Diego Maradona in the back of their heads. Fantastic!

Min.54, Gooooool !!!, goal scored by Mirton. Great inside pass by Vladimir Tikhonov to Dmitry Vlasov, who tried to dribble past Dmitry Smotrov inside the area but the keeper of Zenit cleared it. In the clearance, very careful, Yuri Denisov appeared and made the 7-0. Min.58, Gooooool !!!, Ciprian Alecsandrescu made a Titus Bramble-esque error there, allowing Jorge Miguel Correa to take the ball off him just outside the box, he then buried the ball past Marcin Kupcewicz, who lets the defender know exactly what he thinks of him. The score is now 7-1. Min.66, Pavel Kasparov threads a through ball to Dmitry Vlasov who times his run poorly and has to wait for the ball on the left hand side.
