Spartak 0, Leicester Celtic 5
Spartak’s back four imploded in the second half to allow Leicester to win with ease. The first half saw a tentative Sky Blues approach, with late cry offs and no shows limiting selection and substitution. Spartak’s midfield could only rarely get hold of the ball, and were wasteful in possession. Leicester led one nil at the break, but ran riot in the second period, with too many Spartak players going missing.
A notable exception was Niall Hanratty, who never stopped and continued to show even when the game was beyond recovery.
