First-time finalists in Russia

The Russian Cup final will be played between two non-Moscow sides for the first time as FC Terek Grozny and FC Krylya Sovetov Samara earned a place in the 29 May showpiece after second-leg victories against FC Shinnik Yaroslavl and FC Moskva.

Mark of respect
First division Terek overcame the loss of club president Ahmad Kadyrov to reach their first cup final with a 2-1 win against Shinnik. Kadyrov, the president of the autonomous Russian republic of Chechnya, was assassinated on Sunday, and black armbands were worn as a mark of respect.

Fedkov winner
With the score 0-0 after the first leg, Ruslan Djabrailov gave Terek the advantage on four minutes. Sergei Grishin equalised just before the break, but Andrei Fedkov struck what proved to be the winner 28 minutes from time to ensure non top-flight representation in the final for the first time.

Close tie
Krylya Sovetov, also reaching their first Russian Cup final, needed extra time to overcome Moskva. With the score at 1-1 going into the return, Moizes Pineiro put Krylya Sovetov ahead early in the second half only for Valeri Leonov to equalise within 15 minutes.

Final place sealed
Andrei Kariaka restored Krylya Sovetov's lead with a 35-metre free-kick in extra time and in the final seconds, with Moskva goalkeeper Vitali Astakhov stranded in attack, Sergei Vinogradov scored on the counterattack to seal a 3-1 win.
