FC Salzburg let Lokomotiv Moscow off the hook when they were held to an entertaining 2-2 draw at home by the Russian side in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday.

The Austrian champions were leading 2-1 and completely in control, only to be pegged back by an equaliser from substitute Vitali Lisakovich.

He scored six minutes into his UEFA Champions League debut in the Group A game.

Portugal forward Eder, scorer of the winning goal in the Euro 2016 final against France, gave Lokomotiv Moscow the lead in the 19th minute with a header into the corner.

This was after Rifat Zhemaletdinov had nodded on a corner-kick at the near post.
