AIDEN McGEADY was part of Spartak Moscow’s impressive 3-0 victory over Zilina yesterday.
Brazilian striker Ari put the home team ahead with a looping header in the 34th minute and then tapped in the second goal from close range just after the hour.
Brazilian substitute Ibson added a third one minute from time, giving the Russian side – holders of the unenviable record of 22 successive Champions League matches without a win – six points from the first two games after they beat Marseille two weeks ago.
Republic of Ireland international McGeady played the full 90 minutes at Luzhniki Stadion, Moscow, on the rain-soaked synthetic pitch.
