SEVILLE, Spain - CSKA Moscow upset Sevilla 2-1 on Tuesday to send the Russian team into the Champions League quarterfinals for the first time in 17 years.
A well-struck Keisuke Honda free-kick ended Sevilla's hopes of making their quarterfinal debut and secured victory for the well-organized Muscovites to put them into the last eight for the first time since 1992-93.
After a 1-1 draw in Moscow last month, goals from CSKA's Tomas Necid and Sevilla's Diego Perotti had the sides tied at 2-2 on aggregate at the break before Honda's 55th-minute strike flew into the top corner off Sevilla goalkeeper Andres Palop's net.
