UEFA: Fatai inspires Sparta Prague to draw against CSKA

In from Nifemi Daniel …

Former Flying Eagles striker, Kehinde Fatai, on Tuesday inspired his Czech club Sparta Prague to secure a 2-2 draw in a UEFA Champions League third qualifying round tie in Moscow on Tuesday.

Sparta Prague must now fancy their chances to advancing to the group stage of the competition after their superlative display inside the Arena Khimki.

CSKA took a 14th minute lead, before Fatai netted the equaliser a minute after.

Sparta Prague were the more daring, recording five shots on target against none by the home team and played two corners, while CSKA managed only one.

Fatai was then replaced in the 57th minute possibly to ensure he was sent off after he was booked in first half stoppage time.

Super Eagles star Ahmed Musa played the entire duration of the clash.

Both players started their careers for the now defunct JUTH FC of Jos.
