First half goals from Sabri Lamouchi and Mamadou Niang sent the visitors into the break with a two-goal lead.
But the Russian League leaders weren’t about to lie down without a fight.
Valery Gazeev’s squad turned the second half into an all-out attack on Fabien Barthez’s goal.
The France ‘keeper, playing just his second game since returning from suspension, showed again that he has lost none of his lightning reflexes.
In the 49 minute, he guessed the right way to repel Ignashevitch’s well-struck penalty as CSKA looked for a way back into the game.
Wagner Love finally threw his side a lifeline with just ten minutes left.
In the final seconds of stoppage time, Barthez then ensured victory for OM with a comfortable free-kick save.
