CSKA’s attacking response gathered pace after the break and was rewarded in the 57th minute. Tamerlan Musaev levelled the score at 1–1, finishing a move created by Danil Krugovoy, who was credited with the assist.

Musaev had already been in the referee’s notebook after a yellow card in the 29th minute for CSKA, while teammate Moisés also received a caution in the 51st minute. Rostov’s Aleksey Mironov was booked in the 62nd minute as the contest became more competitive in midfield.

Rostov responded with a series of changes, including goalkeepers Hidajet Hankič making way for Daniil Odoevskiy, and attacking rotations involving Dmitriy Chistyakov, Egor Golenkov, Ronaldo, David Semenchuk, Khoren Bairamyan and Andrey Langovich.
