The second half got underway and we witnessed substantial one-way traffic. Credit to CSKA Moscow, who played to their strengths, defended with five men and thwarted any aerial threat from the opposition. However, there was a feeling around the stadium that Benzema and co. would find a way to fabricate a comeback.

Vinicius started the second half just as he did in the first - with an explosive approach. He stormed through a pack of defenders and got his shot away, which was just wide. The Isco chance followed minutes later.

In the 72nd minute, Valverde wasn't closed down and as a result, Akinfeev was forced to make a save.

Madrid though had been offering acres of space in various channels and once again, credit to Moscow for converting their opportunities with conviction. Sigurdsson this time, struck it fiercely and buried it to the bottom corner. Quite Clinical.
