The main problem of the Spartakites before this meeting was the goalkeeper line. They lost their main goalkeeper Wojciech Kovalevski, who received a severe injury in the match with Saturno near Moscow, and in Rostov-on-Don they also lost Dubler Dmitry Khomich. The 25-year-old Alexei Zuev, who did not spent a single minute in the gates of the home team, went to 25-year-old Alexei Zuev, who in 2006 in 2006.
The owners went forward in the 16th minute, using the drawing of the standard position. Egor Titov was shot down right in front of the penalty area, and the Spartakites received the right to blow from about 20 meters, which Maxim Kalinichenko perfectly performed. Having caught Oliver Kan at the anti -campaign, he sent the ball into a plig with his right bar.
Bavaria was the only team that did not miss the Champions League at the group stage, but Spartak filled this gap. This goal only angered the Germans, who still answered the whistle for a break with a club Claudio Pizarro. First, the Peruvian with the back of the head corrected the ball into the far corner after the flank canopy of Lelya, and later powerfully struck at the left "nine". In both episodes, the young goalkeeper of the red and white turned out to be powerless.
Spartak in the first half also had moments, but they could not develop the success of Kalinichenko. According to statistics, the rivals owned the ball about an equal amount of time and inflicted 7 beats, 4 of which were on target. Even the corners were served equally - two. The only score is different.
In the second half, Spartak, driven by its fans, went forward and at times pressed Bavaria to the gate. However, in general, the game retained a double -edged character.
In the 72nd minute, the hosts managed to equalize the score after the corner draw. The ball drilled by Kalinichenko landed in a causal place to Radoslav Kovach, but, overcoming the pain, the Czech managed to deliver a targeted blow, on the goal of Kan. Having scored the ball, Kovach went to the edge, where he was provided with medical care.
Inspired by success, Muscovites rushed to finish off the enemy, and almost succeeded. Nastirov went one on one with a kan at an acute angle, but failed to beat an experienced goalkeeper. Already in the added time, Daniel Van Boinen did not realize the goal - after the defender shot from the "second floor" the ball passed in centimeters from the bar. The balance on the field has been preserved up to the final whistle.
