CSKA advances to last 16: Europa League

MOSCOW: Sergei Ignashevich scored a late equalizer to give CSKA Moscow a 1-1 draw against PAOK Thessaloniki Tuesday which put the Russian club through to the last 16 of the Europa League.
CSKA won the first leg 1-0 away, and advanced 2-1 on aggregate.
Zlatan Muslimovic put PAOK in the lead in the 67th after a mistake by CSKA's substitute goalkeeper Sergei Chepchugov. But PAOK goalkeeper Dario Kresic then fouled Tomas Tosic in the area in the 80th to give CSKA a decisive penalty.
Kresic stopped Brazilian striker Vagner Love's spot kick, but Ignashevich slotted in the rebound.
The visitors dominated much of the game in subzero temperatures at Luzhniki stadium and wasted several scoring opportunities early. CSKA had to substitute injured goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev in the 64th.
West Ham routs Burnley
Carlton Cole scored twice in three minutes Monday to help West Ham rout Burnley 5-1 and reach the quarterfinals of the FA Cup.
Thomas Hitzlsperger scored on his debut to give West Ham the lead with a long-range shot in the 28th minute, and Cole decided the game with two quick strikes shortly after the break. Winston Reid headed in the fourth in the 59th before Jay Rodriguez scored a consolation goal for Burnley in the 71st.
Reid then prevented another goal in injury time, clearing the ball off the goal line with a diving header that bounced off the bar and left post, and Freddie Sears completed the rout at the other end moments later.
Real Sociedad edges Mallorca
In Spain, Raul Tamudo's second-half goal lifted Real Sociedad to a 1-0 win over Mallorca Monday in the Spanish league. Under gusting winds and rain, both teams had difficulties creating clear-cut scoring chances in the first half at Anoeta stadium. Sociedad was the better team after the restart, and Tamudo rose up to head home Daniel Estrada's cross in the 55th for his third goal in four games.
Xabi Prieto came close to doubling the Basque club's lead in the 70th when his lob hit the crossbar.
Bribery charges
A state prosecutor says three Czech football players and a club official have been charged with bribery and will stand trial.
Prosecutor Petr Matousek says keeper Petr Drobisz of Olomouc has been charged with paying a bribe. He says two ex-players of the Bohemians Prague club — Miroslav Obermajer and David Zoubek — and its chief executive have been charged with accepting a bribe. Drobisz is accused of paying Bohemians' players 300,000 koruna ($16,750) to lose a game at the end of the 2008-09 season. Olomouc denied any wrongdoing.
