Великолепная игра футболиста сборной Берега Слоновой кости помогла русским избежать нервного окончания матча

The Ivory Coast international's fine display in front of goal helped the Russians see out a nervy finale against the visitors

The result, coupled with Manchester United triumphing 2-1 at home to Wolfsburg, means all four teams in Group B now have three points to their name.

PSV did the double over CSKA during the group stages of the 2007-08 Champions League, while they came into the contest having won five of their last six outings in all competitions.

However, any hopes they had of recording back-to-back victories at the start of a Champions League campaign for the first time in their history were hurt with a woeful first-half showing.

They fell behind in the eighth minute when Zoran Tosic's inswinging corner from the right was allowed to drop to the feet of Musa, who turned the ball into the net after reacting faster than any of the PSV players around him.

CSKA doubled their advantage when Doumbia finished off Mario Fernandes' perfect right-wing cross, his looping header going up and over the outstretched right arm of Jeroen Zoet in the visiting goal.

Doumbia's second of the game came from the spot, Zoet being sent the wrong way after he had conceded the foul by halting Tosic's charge towards goal with an ill-timed lunge.

Arias' careless trip on Musa inside the area presented Doumbia with the chance to complete his hat-trick before the break, yet the forward lifted his second penalty over the top.

The miss looked like it could prove costly as Phillip Cocu's team finally came to life after the interval.

Igor Akinfeev had to tip away a goal-bound curler from the right boot of Luciano Narsingh, though there was nothing the CSKA captain could do to stop Lestienne tapping home a low cross from Adam Maher on the hour mark.

The same combination opened up the Russians again to cut the deficit in half eight minutes later, Maher's square pass providing Lestienne with the opportunity to lash home a left-footed strike into the top right corner.

But, the momentum PSV had been building was halted by the dismissal of Arias, who saw yellow for a second time when he fouled Musa near the left touchline as CSKA held on to secure all three points.

  My name is Ben Cullimore and it's been an absolute pleasure describing all of the action to you this evening. Until next time, goodbye!
•  

   

  CSKA climb up to second place in the group ahead of their game against Manchester United in three weeks' time, whilst PSV are next in action against Wolfsburg on the same evening.
•  

   

  The referee brings an end to the game and CSKA are just about able to hold on to pick up their first Champions League victory of the season. Despite the efforts of PSV, who were excellent after a poor first half performance, the hosts deserve all three points, as they battled hard from start to finish, even if they were unable to find much joy when attacking during a second period in which Doumbia and Musa, their star men, were kept extremely quiet.
•  

   

  FULL-TIME: CSKA MOSCOW 3-2 PSV
• 90' + 4'

   

  PSV push forward on one last attack, with every available body being pushed into the CSKA half of the pitch, but the hosts easily deal with the danger before Panchenko breaks forward, but Vloet is there to throw his body in front of the ball before the substitute is able to shoot.
• 90' + 3'

   

  SubstitutionSeydou Doumbia Kirill Panchenko
  Doumbia receives a standing ovation from the CSKA fans as he slowly jogs off the pitch to be replaced by Panchenko for the final few seconds of the game.
• 90' + 1'

   

  Eremenko holds up the ball well on the left flank before earning themselves a corner, which, unsurprisingly, they take their time with as Dzagoev slowly makes his way over to the left flank. He then takes it short and sends it to Musa, who is eventually dispossessed by Pereiro near the byline.
• 90'

   

  The fourth official has indicated that there will be three minutes of added time.
• 89'

   

  SubstitutionAdam Maher Rai Vloet
  PSV have made one last change, with Vloet coming on to replace Maher.
• 88'

   

  Pereiro goes close! Once again, Maher plays an important role in the attacking move as he twists and turns inside the CSKA penalty area before teeing up the aforementioned Uruguayan, whose close-range, toe-poked shot is deflected over the top of the crossbar by a stunning block by Schennikov.
• 86'

   

  Yellow CardGeorgi Shennikov
  Schennikov picks up a yellow card for a poor challenge on the right flank, but the resulting free kick is poorly hit and ends up missing everybody inside the penalty area before bouncing out to the opposite wing.
• 84'

   

  What a chance for Locadia! Maher sends an absolutely beautiful lofted pass over the top of the CSKA defence and into the path of the aforementioned striker, but he completely misses the ball and, as a result, it ends up bouncing out of play for a goal kick. He really should have done better with that opportunity!
• 82'

   

  Almost a great goal by Milanov! The Bulgarian curls a lovely shot from the corner that almost takes Zoet by surprise, but the PSV goalkeeper is just about able to keep it out at the vital moment.
• 81'

   

  The resulting free kick is flung into the middle of the pitch, where it bounces off two PSV players before flying out of play for a corner, despite Zoet's best efforts to stop it from doing so.
• 80'

   

  Yellow/RedS. Arias
  RED CARD! A PSV attack breaks down, allowing CSKA to fly forward through Musa. The Nigerian charges down the left flank before being scythed to the ground by Arias, leaving the referee with no choice but to give the Colombian his marching orders.
• 79'

   

  CSKA are enjoying a rare spell of possession at the moment, but every time they get on the ball they are immediately put under pressure by excellent play from the PSV midfield. Leonid Slutsky looks absolutely petrified on the touchline.
• 78'

   

  SubstitutionMaxime Lestienne G. Pereiro
  Meanwhile, Lestienne, who looks to have picked up a slight injury, makes his way off to be replaced by Pereiro.
• 77'

   

  SubstitutionJoshua Brenet Simon Poulsen
  PSV have made a double substitution with little over 10 minutes left to play. The first player to be removed is Brenet, who makes way for Poulsen.
• 77'

   

  After successfully dealing with the danger, Doumbia immediately flies forward on an excellent run into the PSV half of the pitch, but Bruma does incredibly well to muscle the Ivorian away from goal before shepherding the ball out of play for a goal kick.
• 76'

   

  Lovely play by PSV always results in a chance on goal for Locadia, but Narsingh's attempted through-ball is cut out on the edge of the penalty area by Berezutski at the vital moment.
• 74'

   

  The visitors patiently work the ball around before Propper tries to tee up Lestienne, who looks to be struggling with cramp as he gingerly hobbles around on the right flank, but the pass is completely overhit and flies out for a throw-in, much to the relief of CSKA.
• 72'

   

  CSKA seem incredibly nervous whenever they're on the ball, and it's to be expected after what has happened over the last 12 minutes. Once again, PSV come forward through Lestienne but the hosts are just about able to deal with the Belgian, who looks determined to wrap up his hat-trick with the all-important equaliser.
• 70'

   

  PSV look in complete control at the moment, and CSKA have pushed even deeper as they look to hold onto their slender lead for the final 20 minutes.
• 68'

  GoalMaxime Lestienne
  GOAL! PSV have pulled back another! Once again, Maher breaks into the left-hand side of the penalty area before cutting the ball back to Lestienne, who unleashes an almighty strike that flies past the outstretched arms of Akinfeev and into the back of the net. The comeback is on!

  SubstitutionBibras Natcho Roman Eremenko
  CSKA have decided to make a double substitution. The first player to come on is Eremenko, who replaces Natcho.
• 65'

   

  And now Berezutski goes close! The resulting set-piece bounces around the penalty area before finding Tosic, who unleashes a bouncing shot from the edge of the box. It's mishit but finds the aforementioned defender, who then helps the ball on and into the hands of Zoet.
• 64'

   

  What a chance for Doumbia! Once again, Tosic and Fernandes link up wonderfully well on the right wing before the latter sends a low cross into the heart of the PSV penalty area. It finds the aforementioned striker, but his close-range strike is deflected out of play due to a vital block by Bruma.
• 62'

   

  PSV patiently work the ball around as they try to find a way past the sea of red shirts in front of them, but they're unable to do so and Bruma is forced to send a lofted pass towards Locadia. It almost meets the striker but Akinfeev does well to rush out to collect the ball before it can do so.
• 60'

  GoalMaxime Lestienne
  GOAL! PSV have pulled one back! Maher does wonderfully well to fly past Berezutski and into the left-hand side of the penalty area before sending an excellent low cross towards the back post, where Lestienne, who has arguably been PSV's best player thus far, is there to poke the ball into the back of the net from close range. Game on!
• 59'

   

  Narsingh twists and turns on the left flank as he tries to find a route into the CSKA penalty area, but Fernandes is there to dispossess the winger with a vital interception.
• 57'

   

  Tosic breaks forward on a great run down the right wing before cutting inside and playing a one-two with Musa on the edge of the penalty area. He then goes down under a tackle from Brenet but there was little contact and he's told by the referee to get to his feet.
• 55'

   

  PSV are enjoying the vast majority of possession at the moment, but, as was the case in the first half, they are failing to do much with the ball whenever deep inside the CSKA half of the pitch.
• 53'

   

  What a save by Akinfeev! Lestienne sets up Narsingh with a great pass, and the latter skips past Berezutski before unleashing a brilliant curling strike. It looks set to find the top right-hand corner of the net but the CSKA goalkeeper pulls off an excellent diving stop to deny the PSV winger the opportunity to pull a goal back.
• 51'

   

  Schennikov scythes Arias to the ground with a thumping challenge, resulting in a free kick for PSV on the right wing. It's flung into the box by Lestienne and bounces over to Maher, but the midfielder strays into an offside position and the linesman's flag is immediately raised as a result.
• 50'

   

  What a chance for Maher! A lovely lofted pass from Hendrix flies over the top of the CSKA defence and into the path of the number 10, who is completely unmarked in front of goal, but he ends up sending his close-range header straight into the hands of Akinfeev.
• 49'

   

  Great save by Zoet! Musa uses his explosive pace to great effect as he flies forward past Hendrix. He then works the ball out to the right flank, where it finds Tosic, and the Serbian immediately unleashes a rocket of a shot that the PSV goalkeeper parries away from danger.
• 48'

   

  PSV work the ball around well before Lestienne flies down the left flank. The Belgian then sends a dangerous cross back towards Locadia, but the striker is nowhere to be found.
• 46'

   

  And we're underway once again!
•  

   

  The two teams are making their way back out onto the pitch ahead of the start of the second half. Neither side have made any substitutions during the half-time break.
•  

   

  What an opening 45 minutes for CSKA! They have looked absolutely dominant from start to finish, with the visitors having very little luck in front of goal. Every time they push forward they have found it difficult to find a way past the hosts' resolute and well-organised defence, whilst at the other end of the pitch both Doumbia and Musa have been running riot. If it stays this way, the Russian side could easily score two or three more goals before the end of the evening.
•  

   

  HALF-TIME: CSKA MOSCOW 3-0 PSV
• 45'

   

  PSV look absolutely shell-shocked, despite the fact that Doumbia missed the opportunity to make it 4-0, and attempt to push forward on one last attack of the first half before the referee brings it to an end.
• 44'

   

  Missed PenaltySeydou Doumbia
  MISS! Doumbia steps up and has the perfect opportunity to wrap up his hat-trick, but he ends up blazing his strike over the top of the crossbar. With his side already so far ahead, it may end up not mattering in the long run, but the Ivorian looks absolutely gutted.
• 43'

   

  Yellow CardS. Arias
  Maher receives a yellow card for dissent in the aftermath of the penalty decision. It was a good call by the referee, but the PSV players look understandably frustrated and their emotions are getting the better of them.
• 43'

   

  PENALTY! Musa flies into the PSV penalty area to latch onto a loose ball and is immediately tripped over by Arias, who clumsily catches the Nigerian's ankle to leave the referee with no choice but to point to the spot once again.
• 42'

   

  Once again, PSV get forward well and look bright in the final third of the pitch, but Propper's thumping strike from 25 yards out fails to trouble Akinfeev and flies out of play for a goal kick.
• 40'

   

  A thumping clearance from Berezutski flies out of play for a corner on the right wing. Narsingh curls the set-piece into the heart of the penalty area, where it finds the head of Locadia, but the striker's effort is once again sent straight into the hands of Akinfeev.
• 39'

   

  Excellent chance for Musa! Once again, the Nigerian picks up the ball in acres of space and charges forward before unleashing a bouncing strike from 25 yards out, but it's scuffed slightly and flies a yard or two wide of the far post.
• 38'

   

  PSV immediately push forward on a quick attack down the left flank, with Lestienne playing an important role in the move. He then unleashes a curling shot from the edge of the penalty area but it's sent straight into the hands of Akinfeev, who is easily able to stop the strike.
• 36'

   

   

   

  Penalty GoalSeydou Doumbia
  GOAL! Doumbia makes it 3-0! The Ivorian steps up and beats Zoet with an excellent strike that sends the PSV goalkeeper the wrong way before nestling into the top right-hand corner of the net. The hosts have been excellent thus far and fully deserve their emphatic lead.
• 35'

   

  Yellow CardJeroen Zoet
  PENALTY! Tosic cuts inside from the right wing and plays a lovely one-two with Dzagoev before skipping past Brenet, where he's clumsily tripped over by Zoet, leaving the referee with no choice but to point to the spot.
• 34'

   

  CSKA immediately break away on a quick counter attack, which comes to an end midway inside the PSV half of the pitch after Doumbia is clumsily pulled to the ground by Bruma, resulting in a free kick for the hosts. It's sent by Natcho into the middle of the penalty area but Locadia is there to head it away.
• 33'

   

  Neat and clever play by PSV results in a good chance on goal for Brenet, but the left-back ends up sending his tame bouncing volley straight into the hands of Akinfeev, who easily deals with the effort.
• 31'

   

  Excellent play by CSKA! Sloppy defending from PSV allows Musa to find acres of space in the middle of the pitch, where he picks up the ball before charging forward. He then sends a wonderful through-ball past Moreno and into the path of Dzagoev, but Zoet does well to dart out to deal with the danger.
• 29'

   

  CSKA look in complete control, both when on and off the ball. The opening 30 minutes of the game have been characterised by great defending from the hosts, whilst they have looked dangerous every time they push forward.
• 27'

   

  Musa puts Arias under pressure, forcing the right-back into sending the ball out of play for a corner. It's flung into the middle of the penalty area by Natcho but Zoet does well to punch the ball away from danger.
• 25'

   

  A lengthy spell of PSV possession ends with Arias on the edge of the penalty area, and he tries to weave his way through a sea of CSKA shirts. His path is quickly blocked, however, before Ignashevich dispossesses him with a great interception at the vital moment.
• 23'

   

  Another fantastic opportunity by Doumbia! An awful back-pass from Maher rolls straight into the path of the Ivorian, who flies forward before beating Zoet with a close-range chip that also sails a yard or two over the top of the crossbar. That was the perfect opportunity to make it 3-0!

• 19'

   

  And now Lestienne goes close! The Belgian twists and turns on the edge of the penalty area and skips past Berezutski before unleashing a lovely strike, but there's slightly too much power on the shot and, as a result, it misses the top of the crossbar by the narrowest of margins.
• 18'

   

  Great chance for Doumbia! The PSV defence are sloppy on the ball, allowing Fernandes to get forward down the right wing once again. The defender then cuts a lovely pass into the feet of the aforementioned striker, but his first-time shot is sent just over the top of the crossbar from 12 yards out.
• 16'

   

  Yellow CardJurgen Locadia
  Locadia brings the ball down well just outside of the CSKA penalty area before going down under a tackle from Wernbloom, but there was no contact whatsoever and the youngster is shown a yellow card for simulation.
• 15'

   

  Natcho and Fernandes link up well on the right flank before the latter charges down the wing and looks to unleash a swinging cross, but Brenet is just about able to get in front of the right-back to win the ball back before the Brazilian is able to do so.
• 13'

   

  CSKA sit deep and defend extremely well against PSV, who just can't seem to find a way past the determined hosts. Tosic then picks up the ball and tries to tee up Musa with a lofted cross-field pass, but it's completely overhit and misses the Nigerian before bouncing out of play for a throw-in midway inside the visitors' half of the pitch.
• 11'

   

  Great strike by Propper! Once again, PSV push forward well before the aforementioned midfielder unleashes a thumping shot from 25 yards out that beats Akinfeev before flying just over the top of the crossbar and out for a goal kick.
• 9'

   

  A CSKA attack breaks down, allowing Narsingh to fly down the right wing before looking to send a cross towards Locadia. However, just as he's about to he's dispossessed by a wonderful tackle from Schennikov.

  GOAL! CSKA have taken the lead! The resulting set-piece is flung into the middle of the box, where the PSV defence are completely at sixes and sevens. The cross finds the feet of Musa, who controls the ball wonderfully well before tapping it into the back of the net from close range to put the hosts ahead.
• 6'

   

  Brenet loses possession on the right flank, allowing Tosic to charge down the right flank before cutting into the penalty area. He's just about to tee up Doumbia but is dispossessed at the vital moment, resulting in another corner for CSKA.
• 5'

   

  PSV patiently work the ball around near the halfway line before Lestienne sends an excellent cross into the heart of the CSKA penalty area, but it ends up missing the head of Locadia by the narrowest of margins. That was a really good chance for the youngster.
• 3'

   

  Tosic battles with Brenet before forcing the left-back into playing the ball out for a corner. The resulting set-piece is sent towards the near post but is underhit and, as a result, Propper is easily able to cut out the danger.

  And we're off! PSV get us underway, attacking from left to right.

  The two sides are making their way out onto the pitch, with just a few minutes to go until kick-off.
•  

   

  Meanwhile, PSV boss Phillip Cocu has made three alterations to the side that featured against NEC on Saturday, with Simon Poulsen, Stijn Schaars and Luuk de Jong making way for Joshua Brenet, Adam Maher and Maxime Lestienne, respectively.
•  

   

  Leonid Slutsky has decided to make just one change to the CSKA side that started the 1-1 draw against Lokomotiv Moscow on the weekend, with Bibras Natcho coming into the squad to replace Kirill Panchenko.

  There’s just over 15 minutes left to go until until kick-off, so let’s have a look at how the two teams will be lining up this evening…
•  

   

  As for PSV, the aforementioned win against Manchester United will have filled them full of confidence ahead of their trip to Khimki, but it’s not going to be easy for the Eindhoven side, who will have to do without top goalscorer Luuk de Jong, who picked up an ankle injury whilst in action on the weekend, and midfielder Andres Guardado, who impressed in the game against the Red Devils before going off injured midway through the second half. De Jong’s absence means that Phillip Cocu is set to hand a first Champions League start to talented youngster Jurgen Locadia, who has scored four goals in just five appearances so far this season.
•  

   

  PSV head to Russia looking to make history, as never before have they won their opening two group stage games. After shocking Manchester United by beating the Premier League giants in their first clash two weeks ago, that is a real possibility, although they will have to find a way to fight past a very strong CSKA side that are dominating at the top of the Russian Premier League. Leonid Slutsky’s side remain unbeaten after 10 games, eight of which have ended in victories, but struggled in their Group B clash against Wolfsburg, which ended in a 1-0 win for the Wolves.
