In the "Premier" league of Russia, the 25th round matches were played. With only five games left until the end of the season, the intrigue in the battle for the champions title has increased, as the leader who lost points was overtaken by the victorious opponents.
The championship leader, St. Petersburg's "Zenit", after a goalless draw against Perm's "Amkar", will have to share the first position with Moscow's "CSKA", which crushed one of the outsiders "Kuban" away.
Right next to the two leading teams are Moscow's "Lokomotiv", who defeated "Saturn" in ninth place at home, and who earlier won against "Krylja Sovetov".
Meanwhile, from the bottom of the standings, Moscow's "Dynamo" team rises, having narrowly defeated "Shinnik" and climbed to the tenth place.
