Sevilla grab away goal in Moscow

Spanish outfit Sevilla FC have grabbed a vital away goal in the Champions League Round of 16 against Russians CSKA Moscow.

The Spaniards took the lead in the 25th minute when Alvaro Negredo slotted home but in what both teams would describe a fair result, Moscow managed to level in the second half - the match ending 1-1 at the Luzhniki Stadium.

Former Real Betis striker Mark Gonzalez was the man for Moscow when he powered home a 35-yard drive in the 66th minute to tie it up and the scoreline did not move from that point on.

The second leg is now in the favour of Sevilla but CSKA will be nipping at their heels for a chance to move through to the next phase.
