CSKA Moscow 1-0 Real Madrid: Superb CSKA humble holders in Moscow (PHOTOS)
Russian football celebrated another momentous night in the country's expanding annals of football history as CSKA Moscow toppled UEFA Champions League holders Real Madrid 1-0 in Group G at Luzhniki Stadium on Tuesday.
A mere three months after Russia dumped the mighty Spain out of the World Cup 4-3 on penalties, Igor Akinfeev, captain and shootout hero that fabled night, returned to lead his club side at the same venue and etched another famous night into football folklore.
It was a case of repeat and not revenge, with CSKA the orchestrators of another Russian win over Spain at Luzhniki, courtesy of a sole strike from in-form Croatian striker Nikolai Vlasic early on in the game to grab all 3 points and give the capital club their first European win of the season.
