CSKA Moscow secured the Russian Cup title after a dramatic penalty shootout victory against Rostov, marking their ninth triumph in the competition. The match, held on Sunday, concluded with a 0-0 draw after regulation time, leading to the decisive shootout.

The penalty shootout saw both sides falter. Igor Diveev missed his attempt for CSKA, while Khoren Bayramyan hit the post for Rostov. Igor Akinfeev, CSKA’s goalkeeper, then saved Aleksey Sutormin’s shot, adding to the tension.

Ultimately, Milan Gajic converted the winning penalty for CSKA, sealing a 4-3 victory in the shootout. This win denied Rostov their second trophy in history, following their 2014 Russian Cup win against Krasnodar.
