Alan Dzagoev continues to impress

October 23rd, 2008 | By: j | 1 Comment »

Eighteen year-old Russia capped Alan Dzagoev stole the show today as Valeri Gazzaev’s CSKA Moscow handed Deportivo La Coruña a 3-0 lashing in UEFA Cup action at Luzhniki Stadium.

The match was never in doubt as the teen phenom continued on his goal-scoring spree with a perfectly place free-kick only nine minutes into the match. Only three minutes later he had his second of the night when Vágner Love centered to the young striker parked in point-blank range. However the Spanish club would not go down without a fight and just before the half a Cristian Idalgo called upon Igor Akinfeev but as we have come to expect, the Russian number one is up for any challenge and dealt with the threat. Six minutes after the break Vágner Love added his name to score-sheet as he pounced on Sergei Ignashevich’s header across the goal mouth. Deportivo threatened late but once again, Igor Akinfeev denied them and the match concluded 3-0 in favour of CSKA Moscow.

CSKA Moscow returns to action in a great showdown next Monday against Dynamo Moscow.
