CSKA MOSCOW PREPARE FOR LIFE AFTER HONDA As CSKA gets ready to begin their league title defense in season 12, they will do so knowing that they will be losing a key member of the squad that has been a big part of the team's overall success in Serie A. While Keisuke Honda will be starting a new journey with AC Milan, his former team will be figuring out how they will go about replacing their star midfielder. The only good news is that, although the contract has already been signed, the transfer has not yet officially taken place, so he will be available for maybe one last game. CSKA officials know it will not be easy to replace a player such as Honda, but there will be competition for the open spot in the starting XI. The latest rumor is that Marco Gonzalez may reclaim his spot in the starting XI where he has featured in CSKA's first few seasons alongside Honda. Another option may be youngster Vitinho, who was brought in on a 10,000,000 transfer. CSKA may look to switch up their formation in order to accommodate the best fit in replacing Honda.
S12 Matchday Recaps Matchday 03 Swansea 0-3 CSKA Moscow Musa was involved in all 3 of CSKA's goals, assisting on two goals while netting one of his own. 6 (4) Shots (SOT) 9 (6) 52% Possession 48% 16 Tackles 11 0 Fouls 0 0 0 0 0 0 Offsides 0 1 Corners 3 Match Events CSKA: Doumbia (16')Musa CSKA: Musa (76') CSKA: Honda (87')Musa MOTM: CSKA Musa CS: CSKA Akinfeev CSKA had the first chance of the game just 4 minutes in when Doumbia had a clear shot from the edge of the box but was met with a great diving save by the Swansea keeper. Doumbia would convert on another opportunity at 16' as his header went off the keepers gloves and into the net. Both teams tightened up defensively as neither side generated quality chances, and the heavy rain certainly started to factor in as time went on. The 2nd half continued to produce broken plays and misplaced passes until the 76' mark when Musa picked up the rebound off a shot by Doumbia, and placed it into the back of the net. Honda would put the game out of reach at the 87' minute mark of what may have been his swan song in Russia, as he got into open space and took a shot that probably would have been a routine save in good weather. Musa was awarded MOTM as he was a key contributor on offense as well as making several key plays on the defensive side of the pitch.

Both teams came out trying to set the tone early, with the two teams exchanging chances. In the 22nd minute, Doumbia collected a rebound at the right side of the Fulham net, and was knocked down by the defender. Doumbia converted the PK to give his team the 1-0 lead. Both teams continued to stifle the other until CSKA doubled their lead in the 41st minute. Tosic took a pass from Hernandez and split 2 defenders, cut into the box and fired a shot past the keeper. Just 4 minutes later Tosic would strike again, this time his shot from just outside the box found it's way behind the Fulham keeper to end the 1st half. In the 2nd half, both teams played a lot better on the defensive side, not allowing for many quality chances on goal. Fulham would eventually break through when Berbatov met a Taarabt cross with his head past a diving GK Akinfeev.

Tight defensive battle that saw both teams only get a combined 3 shots on target in the entire first half. The pace seemed to pick up a little bit in the 2nd half but neither team was really able to generate many clear chances. Both teams keepers made huge saves when finally called upon, diving every which way to keep the ball out of their respective nets. CSKA would break the deadlock at the 53' minute mark when Doumbia converted on a corner kick. Grenier had a great chance to tie it up in the 63rd minute but Akinfeev got his gloves to the shot to knock it out for a corner kick. On the ensuing corner, Gomis came within inches of netting the equalizer but the header went just wide.
