Away from home, Zenit St. Petersburg have drawn 1-1 with Bayern Munich in the UEFA Cup semi-finals. They've been dubbed the dark horse of the UEFA Cup and a team with a chance to win it.
Frank Ribery missed a penalty for the hosts in the first half, but came up with the goods a minute later to put Bayern into the lead.
However, a mix up at the back in the sixtieth minute saw Bayern Munich defender Lucio put the ball through his own net to level the game.
Bad news for Zenit is that Andrey Arshavin picked up a yellow card in the match and will miss the return leg in St. Petersburg on May 1.
