Published: May 16, 2021

Spartak Moscow will be participating in the third qualifying round of next season's UEFA Champions League by virtue of finishing second in the Russian Premier League.

The Red-Whites came back from two goals down to draw 2-2 with FK Akhmat at the Akhmat-Arena on Sunday.

Trailing 2-0 after half an hour gone, Quincy Promes halved the deficit eight minutes after the restart before Moses fired home a loose ball in the area to make it 2-2.

The win saw Spartak finish second in the table on 57 points, one more than Lokomotiv Moscow.

Chelsea loanee Moses was in brilliant form in the last nine matches of the campaign, scoring three goals and providing three assists for his teammates.

The 2013 Africa Cup of Nations winner was delighted Spartak are one of Russia's representatives in the 2021-2022 Champions League and had a message for the fans after the game.

Writing on Instagram, Moses stated : "Massive win today! Secured 2nd place and Champions League qualification 💯 thank you to our amazing fans for the unbelievable support!"

Spartak Moscow are likely to activate the purchase option they have for Moses after their qualification for the Champions League.
