It was the home side who made most of the early running, but poor finishing would let them down on more than one occasion.

Rubin were struggling to create anything meaningful in the attacking third of the field, but the two teams would go into the half time break all square.

Following the resumption, CSKA continued on the offensive. Milos Krasic forced a comfortable save from Sergey Rizhikov.

And minutes later the Army Men really should have taken the lead. However, Massu, who was playing his first game since September, elected to shoot, despite seemingly having a team-mate in a better position.

It seemed just a matter of time before CSKA would score, but it was Rubin, who took full advantage of the Army Men's sloppiness in front of goal. The home side's defense failed to deal with a set piece, and Cesar Navas was on hand to notch up his first goal of the season, with a deft touch past the stranded Akinfeev.

CSKA pushed forward in search of an equalizer, but Sergey Rizhikov, who was overlooked by Guus Hiddink for his latest squad to play Slovenia, was equal to the challenge.

And Rubin would seal the points in time added on. Aleksandr Bukharov sent a delightful chip past Akinfeev to seal the points for Rubin.

So Rubin continue to have their destiny in their own hands, and they can wrap up a second successive Russian Premier League title with victory at home to Zenit next week.
