Russian Super Cup 2009: Rubin 1- 2 CSKA

Saturday, March 7, 2009 @ Luzhniki, Moscow

Rubin Kazan 1 : 2

CSKA Moskva

CSKA is playing in their fifth Super Cup (winners in 2004, 2006, 2007). Rubin is playing in their first.

Finally, but I'm still waiting for the russian league to start, it's been a while since Rubin won.

 

[AAB fan]

gonna be an interesting match. I had hoped Rubin would buy a good attacker so it would get more interesting, but it hasnt been the case so far...Think CSKAs gonna win this one 2-1.

 

[Dmitriy]

We should be able to win especially with a 95% pro-CSKA crowd.

Should be a decent game. Does anyone know if it will be on any channels with English commentary? I don't think it's on in the UK but I'm not sure about US stations.

Likely only russians......

 

[AAB fan]

GOAL! 1-0 Shemberas...we totally outplay them. Rubins main threat, Gökdeniz, is on the bench..dont understand.

 

[Senior Tigr]

What a goal by Semberas! His first for CSKA in official match btw.

Rubin generally had maybe 5 attacks the whole half. CSKA clearly better but maybe made not so much chances as they can. Dzagoev very good, Rahimic and Semberas owns the middle, Vagner tries to dribble through all Rubin defenders.

Semberas and Rahimic can not play together they build zero.:stoned:

Rubin?well first game for them,very poor,semak and rebrov the less worst.

They need 3 r 4 player for the champions league.

Great goal by Semberas.Zhirkov doing well.

Rubin as usual. They don't have forwards and C.Navaz immediately starts. :howler: Same old problem across Russia.

Their plan was to defend all through. Now they conceded one, and they need to attack and send Gokdeniz. CSKA's game in the second half.

P.S.
1-1. From a FK conceded by Schennikov.

 

[shevagol]

1-1

Rubin ties it up on a set-piece. Fast paced second half so far.

 

[kleber]

Vagner playing in Dzagoev place,interesting......

Carvalho is so fat.....

 

[shevagol]

End of full time. CSKA has outplayed Rubin, but wasted a great chance late.

 

[Senior Tigr]

Dzagoev's yellow totally undeserved; poor boy, he have so strong feeling of injustice after that.
CSKA was better in second half also, but Rubin used their chance well.

 

[shevagol]

End of 1st extra time. CSKA really deserve a goal.

 

[Senior Tigr]

Red card for Karadeniz. Ramon for Rahimic, Carvalho on right wing, Vagner playing in midfield - very interesting extra time.

 

[shevagol]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! Finally.

NECID!!

2-1 CSKA

 

[shevagol]

Super Cup Champions, and rightfully so!!

 

[kleber]

Deserve win for Cska.

Zhirkov best in cska,ryzhikov in rubin.

 

[Ruslan25]

The FA has no sympathy for Rubin.
The second yellow on Gokdeniz was typical of UEFA - to weed small bees.

The victory was predicted and well deserved, but what a heck. Next Shakhtar.
