Sekou Shines in Champions League



Liberia’s International winger Sekou Jabateh Oliseh was at his best for his Russian Club CSK Moscow in the on going UEFA Champions League currently taken place across Europe. Jabateh’s CSK Moscow battled 2010 UEFA Champions League Winner, Italian Giant Inter Milan in a well entertaining encounter on home soil Tuesday evening, despite losing the match 3-2 to the visitors.

Inter Milan took the lead through their Brazilian defender Lucio in the 6 -minute of the first half, and Pazzini netted the second goal in the 24th minute, given Milan a 2-0 lead. CSK Moscow re-grouped and started to control the match by keeping Inter busy, while Inter Milan on the other hand fought hard to defend their lead.

Jabateh Oliseh, displaying his skills mix with perfect talents was fouled in Inter defense and Dzagoev scored from the free kick spot right before half time making the score 2-1.

CSK Moscow came back from the half time brake in high spirit and piled pressure on Inter’s defense, thus, resulting to the equalizer from the leg of Vagner Love in the 77th minute of the match, but two minutes later Inter extended the lead through Zarata in the 79th minute, hence, denying CSK Moscow securing a point on home soil as they lost the match 3-2.
