Nigeria international Ahmed Musa scored in his Russian Premier League side CSKA Moscow 3-1 win at Ural on Wednesday to remain top of the league with 59 points from 28 games and move closer to reclaiming the title.
CSKA are now four points clear of their closest rivals and defending champions Zenit St.Petersburg with two rounds of matches still to be played.
A win at home against Krasnoder on Monday will confirm the Russian army club champions again.
Ahmed Musa scored in the 70th minute to seal the victory and take the game beyond the hosts Ural, who paraded Nigeria forward Sylvester Igboun.
The Jos-born star has now scored 12 goals in 28 matches.
