With the first half failing to produce a goal, both coaches turned to their benches immediately after the interval. Rubin replaced the already-booked Lobov with Denil Maldonado at half-time, while CSKA introduced Luciano Gondou for Matheus and Matvey Kislyak for Henrique Fabiano in a double change aimed at injecting more attacking verve.

The visitors’ growing edge after the restart also brought disciplinary trouble. Kirill Danilov received a yellow card in the 51st minute, followed by Gondou’s own booking in the 62nd minute. Rubin responded with a pair of substitutions on 64 minutes, bringing on Ruslan Bezrukov for Nazmi Gripshi and Dardan Shabanhaxhaj for Jacques Siwe, seeking extra energy in midfield and attack.

CSKA continued to refresh their lineup as Matheus Reis replaced Matija Popović on 66 minutes and Danila Kozlov came on for Moisés in the 72nd minute. Rubin made late alterations of their own, introducing Dmitriy Kabutov for Anderson Arroyo in the 80th minute and Konstantin Nizhegorodov for Ilya Rozhkov on 86 minutes.

The closing stages remained tense, with Rubin’s Ignacio Saavedra booked on 86 minutes, but neither side could convert their adjustments into a winning goal. Detailed information on shots, possession, and clear-cut chances is not available, but the series of cautions and changes underlines a hard-fought RFPL encounter that ultimately ended scoreless.
