Ghana defender Baba Rahman was in magnificent form for Schalke 04 as they defeated Lokomotiv Moscow 1-0 in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.

Rahman, who is on loan from Chelsea, was handed the rare opportunity as a first-half substitute after Morocco left-back Hamza Mendyl picked up an injury in the 16th minute.

The 24-year-old performed admirably as Alessandro Schopf's injury-time goal handed Schalke a 1-0 win in the Group D tie at Veltins-Arena, sealing their place in the next round of the competition.

Tuesday's appearance marked an end to Baba's long absence. His last competitive game was a Bundesliga clash with Hertha Berlin on September 2.
