He stated that he would welcome any opponent for Spartak, though he did offer his assessment of the two teams vying for the other spot in the final. According to the minister, FC Krasnodar presents a stronger challenge than Dynamo Moscow, though he was quick to praise Dynamo as a quality side in their own right.\n\nThe minister's comments come in the wake of Spartak's hard-fought victory over CSKA Moscow in the Regions Path final of the Russian Cup. Spartak secured a narrow 1-0 win against their city rivals, a result that punched their ticket to the Super Final of the Fonbet Russian Cup tournament.\n\nThe other half of the Super Final bracket remains undecided, with Dynamo Moscow and Krasnodar set to battle it out in the RPL Path final. Their first encounter ended in a goalless stalemate, leaving everything to play for in the return leg as both clubs chase a spot in the showpiece event.\n\nKravtsov's candid assessment of the semifinalists adds an interesting political dimension to the buildup. While acknowledging Krasnodar's edge on paper, the minister ultimately expressed the universal sporting sentiment, declaring that may the best team prevail.\n\nThe Russian Cup has delivered compelling drama throughout this season's edition, with Spartak's semifinal triumph over defending champions CSKA adding another chapter to the storied rivalry between the Moscow giants. CSKA had claimed the trophy in the previous campaign, defeating Rostov in a final that required a penalty shootout after a 0-0 draw in regular time, with the army club prevailing 4-3 from the spot.\n\nAll eyes now turn to the Dynamo-Krasnodar semifinal to determine who will join Spartak in the Super Final. The outcome will shape what promises to be an exciting conclusion to this year's Fonbet Russian Cup competition.\n\nBased on reporting from Чемпионат.com.","news","Education Minister Sergei Kravtsov shares his thoughts on who he'd like to see face Spartak in the Russian Cup Super Final, weighing in on the Dynamo vs Krasnodar semifinal matchup.","326257611726917632","Spartak Moscow","327558247747686401","326135645644787712","Cup","326904588986748928","Spartak Moscow vs CSKA Moscow","2026-05-06T19:25:36Z","russian-education-minister-reveals-preferred-opponent-for-spartak-in-cup-super","Championat","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.championat.com\u002Ffootball\u002Fnews-6458836-ministr-prosvescheniya-rf-otvetil-kogo-by-hotel-videt-sopernikom-spartaka-v-superfinale.html",[50,45,62,63,64,65,66,67],"326257611840163840","326257612079239168","326257796423094272","326222707169431552","326255038584328192","326257539962376192",[51,46,69,70,71,72,73,74],"FC Krasnodar","Dynamo","Russia","Anderlecht","Legia Warszawa","Como","Russian Education Minister Reveals Preferred Opponent for Spartak in Cup Super Final",[77,94,109,120],{"awayTeamId":45,"awayTeamName":46,"body":-1,"category":48,"excerpt":78,"homeTeamId":50,"homeTeamName":51,"id":79,"leagueId":53,"leagueName":54,"matchId":55,"matchName":56,"publishedAt":80,"slug":81,"sourceName":59,"sourceURL":82,"teamId":50,"teamName":51,"teamIds":83,"teamNames":88,"title":93},"CSKA's Kirill Danilov shares his emotions after the Russian Cup final against Spartak, discussing pre-match nerves and the team's performance in the 1-0 defeat.","328139599694008321","2026-05-08T09:53:19Z","cska-defender-danilov-reflects-on-cup-derby-loss-to-spartak","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.championat.com\u002Ffootball\u002Fnews-6460634-danilov-podelilsya-emociyami-ot-igry-so-spartakom-v-kubke-rossii.html",[50,45,84,65,67,85,86,87],"326257808217477120","326257546392244224","326257613643714560","326257722553012224",[51,46,89,72,74,90,91,92],"Derby","Nottingham Forest","Hassania Agadir","Mokra Gora","CSKA Defender Danilov Reflects on Cup Derby Loss to Spartak",{"awayTeamId":45,"awayTeamName":46,"body":-1,"category":48,"excerpt":95,"homeTeamId":50,"homeTeamName":51,"id":96,"leagueId":53,"leagueName":54,"matchId":55,"matchName":56,"publishedAt":97,"slug":98,"sourceName":59,"sourceURL":99,"teamId":50,"teamName":51,"teamIds":100,"teamNames":104,"title":108},"Krasnodar manager Murad Musaev praises his team's dramatic penalty shootout victory against Dynamo Moscow, calling it one of the most important matches in club history.

Few fixtures in Russian football carry the weight, passion, and sheer intensity of this storied rivalry, and a knockout cup setting only amplifies the drama.\n\nThis is far more than a simple cup tie. The Spartak-CSKA rivalry, often called the \"Main Derby\" of Russian football, stretches back decades to the Soviet era, when both clubs were dominant forces. Spartak, historically known as \"The People's Team,\" and CSKA, the army club, have contested some of the most heated encounters in the country's football history. Matches between these two regularly draw sell-out crowds and ignite fierce passions across Moscow and beyond. A cup elimination at the hands of their greatest rivals would be an unthinkable outcome for either side.\n\nTactically, this encounter promises fascinating subplots. Spartak will look to leverage home advantage at the Otkritie Arena, where the famous Fratria ultras create one of the most intimidating atmospheres in Eastern European football. Expect a high-pressing approach from the hosts, seeking to unsettle CSKA's build-up play early. CSKA, meanwhile, have traditionally thrived in cup competitions and will likely adopt a disciplined defensive structure before exploiting transitions with pace on the counter. The midfield battle will be crucial — controlling possession and tempo in the engine room could decide who advances.\n\nThe atmosphere will be electric. Moscow derbies are renowned for their choreographed displays, deafening chants, and an edge of tension that few other fixtures can match. Both sets of supporters will view this as a matter of pride, making the stands as much a battleground as the pitch itself.\n\nFans can expect a fiercely contested, emotionally charged ninety minutes — or more, should the tie require extra time and penalties. With a place in the next round of the Russian Cup at stake and bragging rights in Moscow hanging in the balance, neither team can afford to hold back. This is Russian football's fiercest rivalry under the unforgiving spotlight of knockout competition, and it promises to deliver every ounce of drama the occasion demands.",{"code":145,"id":50,"imagePath":146,"name":51,"slug":147},"HME","https:\u002F\u002Fmedia.api-sports.io\u002Ffootball\u002Fteams\u002F558.png","spartak-moscow","2026-05-06T17:00:00Z",90,"ru-cup","spartak-moscow-vs-cska-moscow-2026-05-06","finished",[]]
