CSKA Moscow beat Igokea 92:81 in the VTB Super Cup on 17 September 2026. The hosts opened their campaign with a statement victory, establishing themselves at the top of the table with two wins from two games. There were no draws or defeats to count yet, but this result put them firmly in control from the opening whistle.
A comfortable victory for the Moscow side
The final score reflected a match where CSKA never really looked troubled. They controlled the tempo and the space, and Igokea could only chase shadows for most of the contest. By then the gap was clear enough that there was no real drama left to play out.
We had called for a CSKA win with 91 per cent confidence before this game, and the result confirmed that reading. The hosts were simply too strong, and Igokea had no answer to the pressure they faced.
CSKA have been impressive in their recent run, winning five of their last six matches. Their form against teams like UNICS Kazan and Lokomotiv Kuban showed they can convert dominance into results, and this match followed that pattern.
Igokea came into the game with mixed results of their own. They had beaten Bosna and Siroki Brieg but lost to Subotica, and this defeat added to their inconsistencies. They were not out of sight by half-time, but they could not find a way back into the contest.
The victory moves CSKA into a strong position at the top of the standings. Two wins from two games, no losses, and a goal difference that speaks for itself. They hold the momentum and the confidence, and that matters more than any single statistic.
