CSKA victorious

KEISUKE Honda's free-kick gave CSKA Moscow a 2-1 win at Sevilla to send the Russians through to the last eight of the Champions League.

After a 1-1 first-leg draw in Moscow, first-half goals from CSKA's Tomas Necid and Sevilla's Diego Perotti had the sides tied at 2-2 on aggregate before Honda's 55th-minute strike flew in off Sevilla goalkeeper Andres Palop.

Sevilla coach Manolo Jimenez threw on Alvaro Negredo to join fellow strikers Frederic Kanoute and Luis Fabiano but CSKA held firm against desperate attacking.
