CSKA Moscow 0-2 Wolfsburg: Schurrle eliminates Slutsky's side

Andre Schurrle came off the bench to score twice and earn Wolfsburg a potentially vital Champions League win over CSKA Moscow.

Wolfsburg remains on course to reach the Champions League round of 16 after substitute Andre Schurrle's double earned a 2-0 win at CSKA Moscow on Tuesday.

Defeat for the Russians eliminates them from the competition and they were the architects of their own downfall, as goalkeeper and captain Igor Akinfeev's painful individual error saw him concede for the 36th European match in succession – Schurrle the beneficiary.

Schurrle added a second in the 88th minute to make sure of all three points for the Bundesliga side.
