Match Recap
Spartak Moscow turned what had been a stalemate in their only previous meeting with FC Rostov into a one-sided evening at home, delivering the kind of performance that separates the top four from the bottom half of the Premier League table. Gedson Fernandes opened things up in the 26th minute, and Pablo Solari added a second shortly after the interval to effectively kill the contest before the hour mark. Spartak sit fourth with 16 points and have won three of their last five, a run that looks increasingly convincing; Rostov, 12th with just eight points and one win from five recent games, offered little resistance to a side clearly moving in the opposite direction. The two clubs had shared a draw the last time they met, which makes this 3-0 margin feel decisive. Nikita Massalyga's 89th-minute finish to seal the clean sheet is the goal to watch, scored just as Rostov might have hoped to salvage some dignity.
