The air buzzed with anticipation. It was matchday, and the home crowd had turned up in droves, filling the stadium to near capacity.

Flags waved, chants echoed, and a sea of supporters roared as the players jogged out for the pre-match warmup.

The Europa League qualifier against Anzhi Makhachkala had been a hard-fought battle, but tonight was a different kind of challenge.
