Munteanu strike leaves holders on brink of early elimination

CSKA Moscow’s UEFA Cup defence is hanging by a thread after they lost 1-0 at Dinamo Bucharest last night.

Vlad Munteanu’s second-half strike was enough to appease Dinamo’s demanding supporters, 100 of whom had confronted players at the club’s training ground following poor recent results.

The win sees them leapfrog the holders, who have played all their Group F games and are relying on Dinamo losing their final match in a fortnight and rock-bottom Heerenveen also failing to win.
