Ahmed Musa inspires CSKA to victory against PSV
The Nigerian got his side’s curtain raiser as they
marched past the canon in Wednesday's
Champions League game at the Arena
KhimkiNigeria’s Ahmed Musa recorded his name
on the scorers’ sheet in CSKA Moscow 3-2 defeat
of PSV Eindhoven in a Uefa Champions League
game played at the Arena Khimki on Wednesday
night.
The game which was Leonid Slutsky side’s first
win in the competition saw the former Kano Pillars
forward net the first goal of the encounter in the
eighth minute.
They fell behind in when Zoran Tosic's inswinging
corner from the right was allowed to drop to the
feet of Musa , who turned the ball into the net after
reacting faster than any of the PSV players around
him.
CSKA doubled their advantage when Doumbia
finished off Mario Fernandes' perfect right-wing
cross, his looping header going up and over the
outstretched right arm of Jeroen Zoet in the
visiting goal.
Doumbia's second of the game came from the
spot, Zoet being sent the wrong way after he had
conceded the foul by halting Tosic's charge
towards goal with an ill-timed lunge.
Nevertheless, Phillip Cocu's men very nearly
turned the result around with a valiant second-
half fightback led by Maxime Lestienne, who
netted a pair of goals of his own.
The result, coupled with Manchester United
triumphing 2-1 at home to Wolfsburg, means all
four teams in Group B now have three points to
their name.
CSKA Moscow host Manchester United in their
next game of the competition.
