Sep 18, 2026

Mohamed Azzi continues to make headlines in Russia. Key to CSKA Moscow's victory, the Algerian defender also executed an impressive play that caught attention.

Mohamed Azzi continues to stand out in Russia. In CSKA Moscow's victory over Dynamo Makhachkala (3-1), the Algerian international was particularly dynamic on the right flank, directly contributing to his team's opening goal.

During the buildup to the first goal, Azzi managed to break through before delivering a dangerous cross into the box. Under pressure, an opposing defender deflected the ball into his own net. The 24-year-old full-back did not stop there, as another sequence from the match circulated widely on social media.

Starting on his right side, the former CR Belouizdad player first eliminated an opponent with a nutmeg before performing several dribbles against three defenders. A spectacular play that highlights the offensive skills of a player who joined CSKA Moscow at the beginning of September after his stint at Dynamo Makhachkala.

With Rafik Belghali suspended, Azzi could have represented an alternative for the right-back position in the national team. However, for his first selection, Brahim Hemdani opted for other profiles, including Saâdi Radouani, the right-back from USM Alger.
