The game was in its final moments, but the intensity hadn't let up.
Benjamin's goal had swung the momentum firmly in AZ Alkmaar's favor, but Anzhi Makhachkala still refused to back down.
In the 88th minute, the home side launched a desperate attack.
The 31 year old Samuel Eto'o, still brimming with class and experience, found himself with the ball near the edge of the box.
He shielded it brilliantly, shrugging off Elm, and sent a cutting pass to Willian, who sprinted down the wing.
After controlling the ball, Willian didn't hesitate to curl a dangerous cross into the box. It was perfectly aimed at Lacina Traoré, who rose above the AZ Alkmaar defenders and sent a powerful header flying toward the top corner.
[Traoré with the header!] Willem exclaimed, his voice rising with tension.
