The former Nigerian international could have had more but was denied by Rostove goalkeeper on three occasions.

He was also one of the team’s creative outlets as he made three key passes. However, it was not smooth-sailing for Spartak as Rostov scored twice after Moses opener to turn the game around.

A Pavel Maslov’s own goal in the 27th minute drew Rostov level before Georgi Makhatadze’s strike five minutes later put the home side ahead.

But just as it looked like the home side would go into the break with the lead, Aleksandr Sobolev restored parity for the away side a minute before half-time.

And 13 minutes after the break, the Russian rose highest to head home the winner. The win puts Spartak just a point behind Zenith in the Russian top-flight, although The Red-Whites have played a game more.
