CSKA won the league with 65 points from 30 matches.

According to statement released on the club’s website after the match, the club expressed gratitude for the support throughout the season. “Thanks to the victory over the “Ruby” in the final match of the season for the sixth time CSKA have won gold medals in the championship of Russia!” the statement reads.
