Russia: CSKA and FK Moscow through to semi finals

CSKA Moscow and local rivals FK Moscow have secured their tickets to the semi final stage of the Russian Cup.

CSKA Moscow faced Lokomotiv Moscow for a capital city derby and a goal from Tomas Necid was enough for the away side to win and advance to the semi’s.

FK Moscow had to work much harder for their 2-1 win over Tom Tomsk, who took the lead through Dmitri Michkov in the 58th minute. Alexandru Epureanu equalised five minutes later though and the winning goal came from Hector Bracamonte in minute 75.

Rubin Kazan and Dinamo Moscow are the other two semi finalists, after winning their quarter final games last week.
