CSKA was out of Moscow for eight hours but it was enough to qualify to the Russian cup quarterfinals by winning a second game against Soyuz. In the next stage the Army club would meet the winner of the Lokomotiv – CSK VVS series.

Soyuz - ÖÑÊÀ: 46-107

CSKA visit became the true celebration for the people in Zarechni. Out of question it is very hard for everyone in the club to arrange the Army club visit. But it seems that everyone in the audience was appreciated – the guests showed exactly was the pulic wanted them to show. CSKA head coach Ettore Messina on the other side had an opportunity to give more playing time than usual to the young players Zavoruev, Kashirov and Kurbanov.
