Former winners CSKA Moscow were left feeling homesick after failing to break down stubborn Maccabi Haifa in the UEFA Cup first knockout round on Wednesday.
The 2005 champions switched the first leg to Vladikavkaz in the volatile Caucasus region near Chechnya, about 1,500-km south of the Russian capital, because of freezing temperatures but the move failed to pay off as they drew 0-0.
There were goals aplenty in two other ties, with Bayer Leverkusen edging Blackburn Rovers 3-2 and Fenerbahce drawing 3-3 with AZ Alkmaar.
