That one chance revealed itself early in Movsisyan's first match back with RSL on a stage against one of the region's top teams. Joao Plata put just enough on a perfectly-timed pass to match a perfectly-timed run by Movsisyan. In zipping by Tigres defender Israel Jiménez, he put quickly himself in a position RSL and its fan base imagined when Movsisyan was brought back on a full-year loan from Russia's Spartak Moscow.
He put his left boot on the ball, but instead of it curling around Tigres goalkeeper Nahuel Guzmán and into goal, it sailed. Movsisyan sliced the shot high and wide.
