Furaeva: CSKA brawl with Beşiktaş will unite squad
CSKA's vice-president blamed a late pre-season start for the 57-80 loss to Beşiktaş, after Eugene Omoruyi and Ivan Ukhov clashed and sparked a brawl.
CSKA suffered a heavy defeat to Beşiktaş in a pre-season tournament, going down 57-80, with the match marred by a flare-up near the end after Eugene Omoruyi slapped Ivan Ukhov across the face and took a return blow, sparking a brawl between the two sides.
Club vice-president Natalia Furaeva addressed the incident afterwards, putting the result down to CSKA's late start to pre-season preparation.
Reports made no link to CSKA’s other business this week, which centred on football, with midfielder Ivan Oleynikov joining from Krylya Sovetov on a deal to 2029.
