| 44' | Odiah goes close for the hosts. The Nigerian creates space for a shot and tests Julio Cesar with a long-range effort directed at the far post. JC tips it round for a corner. |
| 42' | With a few minutes to go until half time Inter slow down the tempo and are content to knock the ball around. |
| 41' | Schennikov gets back to intercept Milito's through pass for Pandev. |

| 38' | Gonzalez has an inswinging corner and then an inswinging cross cleared by the Inter defence. |
| 37' | Odiah delivers a cross from the right for Necid but Lucio is right behind the CSKA striker, who can't get a shot in. |
| 35' | The Nerazzurri storm back at CSKA and Diego Milito has a low shot kept out by Akinfeev after turning Ignashevich. |
| 35' | What a waste. Dzagoev goes through on goal from Necid's pass and has just Julio Cesar to beat but incredibly he mis-fires in front of goal. |
| 33' | Sneijder accelerates and looks to serve Milito but there are six CSKA shirts in the way. |
| 31' | Pandev threads through to Milito as Inter soak up the pressure and try to hit the Muscovites on the break. The Prince is flagged offside. |
| 29' | Mamaev has a cross blocked by Lucio but Schennikov is right on to the loose ball and he weaves his way into the box before seeing his low cross blocked by Cambiasso. The ball falls to the feet of Mamaev again and the Russian midfielder tests Julio Cesar with a decent shot on target. |
| 26' | No, he won't. Honda leaves it for Gonzalez and the Chilean blasts his free kick over the bar. |
| 25' | Cambiasso commits a foul on Semberas. Another free kick to the Russians. Will Honda take this one? |

| 6' | Honda gives the ball away in his own third and Milito pounces before going down under a challenge from Ignashevich. Free kick. |

| 2' | Early chance for the hosts as Honda crashes a low shot wide of Julio Cesar's left-hand post. |
| 1' | It's as simple as this: if we score an early goal at the Luzhniki Stadium, CSKA Moscow need to get three. That would create a steep uphill task for Leonid Slutsky's men, who go into tonight's UCL quarter-final return leg without key players Evgeni Aldonin and Milos Krasic - both serving one-game bans. José Mourinho, by contrast, has a near full-strength squad to choose from. |
| 1' | The Muscovites get the game under way. |
| 1' | Stéphane Lannoy and his assistants lead the teams out on to the synthetic pitch in the Luzhniki Stadium, and we're minutes away from kick-off in Moscow. |

 <br>Coach: Leonid Slutsky. |
| 1' | It's yet another milestone night for Javier Zanetti. By appearing against CSKA Moscow the Inter captain - who is two games shy of making his 500th appearance in Serie A - will take part in his 129th European game to become one of the top ten appearance makers in UEFA club competitions. |
| 1' | The prize for tonight's winners is Arsenal or Barcelona at home in the first leg of the semi-final on Tuesday 20 April, with the return leg on Wednesday 28 April. |
| 1' | This is our second trip of the campaign to Russia after the 1-1 draw against Rubin Kazan in the group stages, when Dejan Stankovic headed in an equalising goal in the province of Tatarstan to cancel out Alejandro Dominguez' opener. Overall, it's our seventh match away to a Russian club after three wins, two draws and one defeat. |
