Demichelis with a shot at the City goal, but Akinfeev makes the stop. Akinfeev none too convincing from a couple of corners.
Ignashevich tries to pass the ball back to Akinfeev, but ends up knocking the ball behind for a corner to City. The CSKA goalkeeper none too pleased.
Clichy to Aguero and he then picks out Aguero. Toure quickly on the charge for the home side before his shot is blocked by a white shirt.
Yaya Toure appears to be winded. Is taking his time to get off the deck here. Toure seems to be hobbling.
Wembloom is late on Yaya Toure, and that is going to be a booking for the visiting player.
Milner making a thoughtful run into the heart of the CSKA box, but Akinfeev reacts quickest to gather up the loose ball.
City haven't really pushed on since scoring the equalising goal. All a bit nervy and stuttering as Eremenko is guilty of a late challenge on Yaya Toure.
Doumbia complaining that he was brought down by Kompany as he charged onto the Eremenko pass, but the referee says no.
City giving the ball away far too easily as Wembloom makes a solid tackle to win the ball in the middle of the park.

Akinfeev quickly off his line to block the effort by Aguero before Navas lifts the ball wide of target. And on we go.
Golden chance for Doumbia, but he drives the effort a few yards wide having scampered onto a lovely pass by Dzagoev.
Yaya Toure making some bounding runs up the park. As you would expect from Yaya Toure. Looks to be in the mood this evening. On a freezing cold night.
Natcho decides to try his luck from distance, but the ball sails well wide of goal. Doumbia showing his class by holding the ball up.
Fernando picks out Jovetic, but Doumbia is there to make the interception. Solid piece of defending to regain possession for the visitors.
