CSKA Moscow won Russian Cup for a record sixth time on Sunday, beating second-tier team Alaniya Vladikavkaz 2-1 after Seydou Doumbia scored once in each half.

The Ivory Coast striker gave CSKA the lead in the 13th minute, receiving a pass from Vagner Love before finding the net with a low right-footed shot from 11 meters (yards).

Brazilian striker Danilo Neco equalized for Alaniya in the 23rd through a solo effort, but Doumbia headed in the winner from Keisuke Honda's cross in the 69th minute.

CSKA now has one more Russian Cup title than Lokomotiv Moscow.
