CSKKA won 3-1 at home to reverse a 2-1 loss to Sporting Lisbon in Portugal a week ago and advance on a 4-3 aggregate. And it was the Africans Musa and Seydou Doumbia from Cote d’Ivoire, who made it possible for the Russian army team.
Doumbia, who also scored in the first leg in Portugal, grabbed a brace with Ahmed Musa providing the assist for the Ivorian's second goal of the night.
In stoppage time, Sporting were reduced to 10 men after Joao Mario crashed his leg against the chest of the speeding Ahmed Musa.
However, before all these heroics Sporting Lisbon had gone ahead against the run of play in the 36th minute through Teofilo Gutierrez.
Doumbia then drew CSKA level in the 49th minute and completed his double in the 72nd minute when he finished off a low drive by Ahmed Musa.
The lively Nigeria international then popped up with the all-important goal with five minutes left on the clock.
