In the "Premier" League of Russia, the 28th round matches were played. The intrigue in the battle for the champions title remains, as the leader of the championship lost two points and allowed two pursuers to catch up with him.
Moscow's "CSKA" played a draw with Samara's "Krylja Sovetov" and now with 56 points barely leads the capital's team "Lokomotiv", who won a very important victory away against Perm's "Amkar".
After the victory against "Saturn", hopes to fight for the gold are not lost for Saint Petersburg's club "Zenit", while "Torpedo", who defeated Vladikavkaz's "Alania" in this round, only has theoretical chances.
Moscow's "Spartak" climbed to 7th place, after Argentine F. Cavenaghi's goal in the last minute defeated the city and neighboring team "Moskva" in the tournament standings. Yaroslavl's "Shinnik" almost secured the sixth position, beating "Rostov" team with a minimal advantage.
Moscow's club "Dinamo" ended up in 12th place, finishing the match without goals against the absolute underdog Volgograd's "Rotor". The league will most likely bid farewell to another underdog, Krasnodar's "Kuban", who suffered a defeat against the local "Rubin" in Kazan.
There are 2 rounds left until the end of the championship, which will be played on November 7th and 11th.
