LISBON (Reuters) - Substitute Timur Zhamaletdinov scored four minutes after coming on as CSKA Moscow hit back from a goal behind to stun an uninspired Benfica with a 2-1 away win in their Champions League Group A match on Tuesday. The hosts also had a penalty appeal turned down when Haris Seferovic appeared to be hauled down in the box. However, the Switzerland forward put Benfica ahead in the 50th minute by putting a neat finishing touch to a flowing move started by Grimaldo and continued by Andrija Zivkovic. Benfica may have thought they had done the hard part but their troubles were only just beginning. CSKA hit back within 13 minutes when Andre Almeida handled and Vitinho converted the penalty.
