Moscow Russian League leaders CSKA Moscow Swedish midfielder Pontus Vernbloom, who the only goal scored in the weekend clash with Terek Grozny, said Monday that he believed the Red Army team able to keep their lead through to end of the season.

CSKA are currently at the top of the Russian Premier League with 60 points from 27 matches, three points ahead of defending champion Zenit St. Petersburg. "The fight for the title is in full swing, but this was easy to predict," the 26-year-old was quoted as saying by his club press service.

"We are points dropped in recent games, but are still determined to the end of this season on the top of the table. The champions Zenit hunt us closely. They are a very strong outfit, but we are strong as well. " "For us (CSKA) each one of the remaining games is like a final. We have no right to slip up. "But I believe we have enough strength and spirit to win the title." Vernbloom this season, serving as a midfielder, has scored four goals, each one of them a match-winner for CSKA.

"I'm happy with every one of my goals as the players of my type usually do not too often, score," said Vernbloom.

"But each individual record is nothing compared to the team.
