FC Dinamo Moskva came from a goal down to beat RSC Anderlecht 3-1 and book their place in the UEFA Europa League round of 16.
Aleksandr Mitrović put the visitors ahead midway through the first period against the run of play, but a fine second-half performance earned victory for Stanislav Cherchesov's side. Aleksei Kozlov equalised from distance before Artur Yusupov tapped in after an Aleksandr Kokorin penalty had been saved, and Kevin Kuranyi ultimately made the game safe in added time.
Despite the hosts' early pressure, Anderlecht took the lead on 29 minutes. Youri Tielemans, 17, may have not got the connection he would have wanted with his shot, but it fell straight to Mitrović, and the Serbian slotted in from close range with Vladimir Gabulov stranded.
The Belo-Golubye pushed for an equaliser and found it two minutes into the second half from an unlikely source. The ball dropped to right-back Kozlov, and he fired a cracking effort past Silvio Proto from range for his first competitive goal in over four and a half years.
That gave the home side impetus and Kokorin, who had endured a quiet first half, finally got into the game. The Dinamo captain forced Proto into a good save at full stretch and then earned a penalty after he was brought down by Fabrice N'Sakala. Kokorin's spot kick was saved, but the ball dropped invitingly for Yusupov to tap in.
Anderlecht searched for the goal that would put them back in the box seat, but their evening only got worse when they were caught on the counterattack, Kuranyi finishing from close range to put the result beyond doubt.
