Tonight's match official is Markel Schavelskiy, born in Rossiya and he belongs to the Pskov association. He has a reputation for letting the game flow, but has been criticized for being too lenient sometimes and there is a chance players will try to get away with a few cheeky fouls.

Min.12,'the defence of Zarnitsa has cut the long ball towards the right touchline of Moscow 5, Feliks Sungatulin fought like a young wild boar but he could not leave with the ball.' Thanks for that Manuel. Min.14, Shamil Mironov of Moscow 5 shoots but hits the bar. He's got a crack at the rebound all alone in front of Gennadiy Yatchenko... how did he miss that?! Unbelievable. Min.19, Goal !!!, The ball is played down the left touchline to Román Gaviria. There's nothing open on the left so he dribbles towards the centre. He's taking it to the edge of the area looking for the shot... he hits the ball full blast into the back of the net! SUPERB GOAL. The score now stands at 0-1. Min.27, high kick of Moscow 5 after a wonderful forward pass through the defense by Gleb Sapogov to Shamil Mironov couldn't finish off that great move by Moscow 5. Shamil Mironov protested about the shirt pulling he was the victim of. Min.29, Gooooool !!!, Jacinto Brião ran on to that through ball and took it towards the goal. He easily outpaced Ustin Zykin before taking it around the goalkeeper Feofan Sultanov and putting it into the empty net to make it 0-2. Yes!, the second goal of the team went in! This goal will give them more self-confidence and faith in the match. Min.32, Gleb Sapogov tries to play a 1-2 with Petrică Bărcăuan, but Spiridon Pugin's pressure pays off as he steals the ball and sets his team off on a counter attack... Min.33, well that was a great move, so wuick and brilliant i've had to change the tense i commentate in, Jacinto Brião had it by the right side, he left Ustin Zykin behind, out manouvered another defender before giving it to Eduard Yugov who hit it first time just inside the box and...Gooooooaaaaaal !!!. The score is now 0-3. The fans can't believe this result. Several fans were waving the symbolic white tissues... The manager should watch his head seriously. Unfortunately for them it's not the only problem... several fans are already leaving the stadium and the match isn't over yet! Min.36, Platon Blazhenov sends a lovely pass to the feet of José de las Casas who races through the defence going 1-on-1 with the keeper.... beautiful goal! The referee's disallowed it; the linesman's flag was up. I don't think he got that one right, and the players agree. José de las Casas has lost his temper and wants to go have words with the assistant. He's having to be restrained by his team mates. You can understand his frustration. Min.38, Gooooool !!! for Zarnitsa. Coming in from the left wing, that cross by Román Gaviria found the head of Eduard Yugov and he directed it in. Making the score 0-4. Min.41 That was a wasted chance by Petrică Bărcăuan... 1-on-1 with Gennadiy Yatchenko and 5 yards from goal, and he's put it right into the stands where the Zarnitsa fans are sitting... you can hear the donkey brays ringing from around the stadium!

Min.45,it's the end of the first half. The teams make their way to dressing rooms. The scoreboard of this 45 minutes is 0-4. The home team had 55 %. possession of the ball.

Watching Zarnitsa come out of the tunnel, you have to wonder if they have anything left to give. Moscow 5 on the other hand are looking full of confidence as they come running out onto the pitch. Min 46, home team are attacking via the by the center and protecting their goal via the by the center. The away team is focusing its attacks on the by the two touchlines and its defense without special attention in any area. Min.47, Gooooool !!!, Zarnitsa score. Great finish by Eduard Yugov after receiving a great pass from the right sideline, he brought it down and banged it home past Feofan Sultanov 's reach. Making it 0-5. Min.49, Shamil Mironov made a good run through the middle of the field which took him into the opposition half with plwnty of options, however he pondered on it for too long and Platon Blazhenov stole the ball off him and played the ball out to start what could be a dangerous counter attack. Min.50, Goal!, the counterattack was started by Brian Thorst strolled into the opposition half with the defence deciding to get their shape together instead of closing him down, what a mistake that was. A beautifully placed ball put José de las Casas into a great position to score, and he did, with a clinical finish inside the far post. The scoreboard changes to 0-6. Min.55, Goool !!! for Zarnitsa, scored by Román Gaviria, not sure he meant it though, i'm sure that was supposed to be a cross, but they all count, 0-7. Min.57, Petrică Bărcăuan 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.61, Possession is all very well but you have to make it count, and Makar Teplov needs to make the pass. Now he plays the ball into the midfield, but the pass is too soft and poorly aimed. The rival defence intercept the ball without any problems. Poor; very poor. Min.63, Naum Loktev spots Petrică Bărcăuan breaking free from his marker, but his attempted pass into the space in front is easily intercepted by the defence. Min.74, Gooooool !!! José de las Casas scores... After receiving a great cross from the right touchline, José de las Casas controlled the ball and left Feofan Sultanov behind. He then rolled the ball into the empty goal. Now the scoreboard shows 0-8. Min.84, how rubbish of Petrică Bărcăuan. Gleb Sapogov put the ball on a plate for him and instead of hitting it with his right foot it cannoned of his left shin wide of the goal. Hmmm, why is he playing in this team?

Min.90, The whistle has been blown, ending the game at 0-8. The home team had 61 %. possession of the ball.


The final score of this cup final between Moscow 5 - Zarnitsa is 0-8, congratulations to Zarnitsa, who pass to the next round of his country Cup.
