Onguene and Chukwudi help CSKA Moscow retain Russian league title

Nigeria's Ogonna Chukwudi and Cameroon's Gabrielle Onguene have helped CSKA Moscow to the 2020 Russian Women's Premier League title on Monday.

The holders had opened a fourth-point lead at the top of the table after defeating fourth-placed Zvezda Perm 1-0 courtesy of an own-goal from Valentina Orlova at Oktyabr Stadium on Sunday.

Monday's 2-2 draw between second-placed Lokomotiv Moskva and Ryazan saw Mikzim Zinovyev's ladies confirmed back-to-back champions of the Russian top-flight, with a match to spare.

Goals from Nadezhda Koltakova and Asya Turieva ruined the title dream of Lokomotiv Moskva despite a fightback from Anna Kozhnikova and Elina Samoylova at Sapsan Arena.
