EMENIKE qualifies for UEFA CL,while MUSA misses out

Nigeria striker Emmanuel Emenike will have a chance to rub shoulders with the best players in Europe next season, after his team Spartak Moscow beat hosts Lokomotiv Moscow 2:0 in Sunday's final round of games in the Russian Premier League to qualify for the UEFA Champions League. Emenike, 24, missed the game as a result of a red card he received in their penultimate game against champions Zenit St. Petersburg. Obinna Nsofor featured all 90 minutes for Lokomotiv, but was unable to add to the solitary goal he had scored this season. Meanwhile fellow Nigerian striker Ahmed Musa will miss out on the elite European club competition after CSKA Moscow were beaten 3:1 at Rubin Kazan. Musa was an 80th minute substitute in the game, coming on to replace Liberia winger Sekou Oliseh. CSKA and the league's top striker, Ivorian Seydou Doumbia played the entire game but failed to find the net. There will also be no Champions League football for four-time African Player of the Year Samuel Eto'o whose team Anzhi Makhachkala lost 2:0 at Zenit and will now settle for the Europa League.
