Bad week continues for CSKA Moskva losing 1-0 to Tom’ Tomsk

After being cast out of the UEFA Cup from Ukraine rivals Shakhtar Donetsk, it was expected that CSKA Moskva would unleash a torrent of aggression against Tom’ Tomsk on Monday. However to the shock of all the Army-Men, who most consider as the favourite to win the Russian crown this year, fell 1-0 to Tomsk.

For the match Zico placed seventeen year-old Georgi Shchennikov in his starting eleven and the youngster fit in well with the back-line trio of Russian capped defenders Sergei Ignashevich, Aleksei Berezutskiy and Vasili Berezutskiy. However it was the Siberian side that pulled off the shocker and Macedonian international Goran Maznov scored in the first minute of the match.

The Army Men can storming back with Yuri Zhirkov the creator of a number of chances but in a rare off-day, he couldn't beat the keeper eight minutes into the new half with Vágner Love completely off target with a glorious chance twenty minutes later. Zico called upon Miloš Krasić and Tomáš Necid later but neither could make the mark and in a shocking conclusion Tom Tomsk returned to Siberia from the capital with three points.
