CSKA Moscow secured a dramatic 2-1 comeback win over Pari Nizhny Novgorod, with late goals from Danila Kozlov (88th minute) and Imran Firov (90th minute). Daniil Lesovoy had given the home side the lead in the 44th minute.
Reflecting on the match, former CSKA star Alan Dzagoev shared his thoughts on his Telegram channel: “To put it mildly, the game wasn’t quite successful. But the guys showed character – well done! You need to know how to grind out points even in matches like this. Torop is a lion, Krug is a machine – performing at a high level. Danilov continues to impress. And Imran, with a debut goal and an assist – keep it up.”
