The first half saw a flurry of yellow cards for both sides, with Houssem Mrezigue and Agalarov cautioned for Dinamo, and Dzhamalutdin Abdulkadyrov, João Victor da Silva Marcelino, and Egor Besaev booked for CSKA, alongside several tactical substitutions just before the break. The second half saw CSKA regain control, with Luciano Gondou extending their lead in the 69th minute, set up by Ivan Oleynikov. The final blow came in the 79th minute as Imran Firov, from a Matvey Kislyak assist, sealed the three points for the Moscow club.
