The Russian league kicks off with CSKA victory over newly promoted Khimki

The Russian soccer league kicked off this Saturday with CSKA Moscow's away win against Khimki (0-2), a newly promoted who lost the Cup final to Zenit two weeks ago. Two first-half goals by Kuchaev in the 18th minute and veteran Dzagoev before the break gave the Russian Army team a comfortable victory.

For the story remained the fact that CSKA played without foreigners – Brazilian Mario Fernandes has Russian citizenship – in the starting XI for the first time in 21 years. Although it is true that in the second half four legionaries took to the field, including the new CSKA signing, the Argentine Adolfo Gaich, who comes from San Lorenzo.

Today they will also face the Tambov and Rostov of Valeri Karpin, while the rest of the day will be played on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Due to the Super Cup final played on Friday with a victory for Zenit against Lokomotiv (2-1), both teams will play on Tuesday against Rotor and Rubín, respectively. Although it will depend on the local health authorities, the federation has given permission for stadiums to host 25% of their capacity.
