The cross wasn't meant for Simakan, but he outmuscled Matviyenko to get on the end of it and pick out Silva with his header.
SILVA SCORES! And how he snuck it in is anyone's guess! Raum played a one-two with Silva before lifting a cross into the box and Simakan did well to head it back into the danger zone.
