Dynamo Moscow pulled off possibly the shock result of this year’s season when they humiliated cross-town rivals and Russian Premier League leaders CSKA 4-0 on Saturday.
Fans of both sides remained silent for the first ten minutes of the match as a mark of respect for the victims of the plane crash that wiped out almost the entire Lokomotiv Yaroslavl ice hockey side on Wednesday.
Dynamo opened the scoring in the 36th minute, Ukrainian international striker Andrei Voronin. German forward Kevin Kuranyi made it 2-0 three minutes later.
Dynamo put the game out of reach in the 69th minute through Argentine defender Leandro Fernandez. Russian Under-21 forward Alexander Kokorin added a fourth in the final minute.
The match was played in the Moscow Region city of Khimki, at a stadium frequently used by both clubs for home matches.
The result means Dynamo are now two points behind leaders CSKA and Zenit, who lost 4-2 away to Lokomotiv Moscow after leading 2-0 at the break. That match was played later on Saturday.
