Enisei-STM Krasnoyarsk have managed their first ever European Challenge Cup victory as they beat former European champions CA Brive 10-7 in Russia.
Krasnoyarsk took the lead after a tense first half an hour as hooker Nazir Gasanov managed to cross the line to give the Siberian side an unlikely lead.
It got better for the home side 10 minutes later as Iurii Kushnarev nailed a penalty to give the competition debutants a 10-0 lead at the break.
Brive got back into the game quickly thanks to a try from Thomas Acquier and the French side pushed heavily for the victory in the final half hour but Enisei-STM held on for a famous win.
The victory moves Enisei-STM up to four points but leaves them two points off third-place Brive in Pool 1.
