Moscow CSKA lost to the Portuguese “Sporting” in the first match of the play-off round of the Champions League. Seydou Doumbia responded to Teofilo Gutierrez’s goal, but the ball Islam Slimani shortly before the end of the match brought victory to the hosts.
CSKA Moscow in the round of the playoffs lucky with the draw. Of the four options “Sporting” seemed the most passable. Not because the Portuguese are so weak, so that the remaining three – “Manchester United”, “Valencia” and “Lazio” – seemed even stronger.
In addition, the club from Lisbon has just started the new season, taking the Portuguese Super Cup and barely won the first match of the championship, and therefore had a chance to take it, what is called “lukewarm”, has not yet departed from the off-season sleeping.
Russian teams traditionally play badly against the Portuguese, but CSKA was already winning experience in matches with “Sporting”. It is this team exactly ten years ago, the red and blue beat in the final of the UEFA Cup. From the championship ended in the army club, few people remained, but timid hope to repeat the triumph of exit was still.
Unfortunately, the vice-champions of Russia began meeting very badly. Hazardous standards “Sporting” followed one another, the Portuguese brought the ball consistently into another penalty, and the Russian defenders were nervous and made mistakes.
Again, as in the previous ligochempionskoy match with “Sparta”, CSKA Moscow He missed the first. This time, an attempt to perform an artificial situation “out of the game” turned into a complete failure. Bryan Ruiz fell from behind the defenders directly at Akinfeev and managed to hook in to the oncoming ball Gutierrez, who against the defender still struck the gate.
The goal seemed to have had an effect on guests sobering. The first signs appeared when Zoran Tosic perfectly turned into the penalty area and was shot, but instead blow into an empty corner played not too good canopy. A little later, in another high-speed attack forced the opponent Tosic fouled in the penalty area and the referee awarded a penalty.
hit with “points” from Seydou Doumbia frankly did not come out. Ivorian sent the ball into the right corner on my own, but too weak to leave the goalkeeper no chance. Rui Patricio did not guess, reflecting the shell side. On Denying CSKA did not have time.
In addition Tosic, looked great and Ahmed Musa, at times literally tore defense “Sporting” on the left wing. However, the real hero of the inning was the Roman Eremenko, 40 minutes chic Paz Doumbia threw into the breach for a rendezvous with the goalkeeper.
When the goalkeeper has been played out, even tried to prevent Ivorian defender, but the shell is still rolled into the net. 1: 1 – and now the advantage was with CSKA.
The second segment was marked by Islam Slimani, the same Algerian grenadier, whose goal knocked the Russian national team to the 2014 world championship. Now the striker ‘Sporting’ re obsessed with Akinfeev, virtually unopposed by the defense, but every time something prevented him from causing an aimed shot.
That is the way the ball breasts rose goalkeeper, the projectile flew into the sky after hitting his head, then had to take it all back to the gate.
After 72 minutes, the Army team almost ran into a penalty. Vasili Berezutski hand took the ball from head Slimane seems to read in the news that Maradona has apologized for his “hand of God”, but fortunately, the referee did not see the episode.
wards Slutsky also not sit on the defensive. Doumbia could well take issue when again popped one on one with the goalkeeper after a pass Eremenko, but this time the striker Patricio guessed the trick and took the ball.
And for eight minutes before the final whistle Slimane yet brought lissabontsev victory. Andre Carrillo pulled the defense cross graceful heel sent partner in the center of the penalty area, where he broke no chance for Akinfeev.
However, the defeat of a pocketed ball on a foreign field allows CSKA hope for success in the two-legged confrontation. It really is the case, when he lost the battle but not the war. The main thing that Akinfeev, antirekordnuyu extended his streak with 31 conceded goals to match this and stopped.
