Brazilian forward Ari had fired the home side ahead after capitalising on a mistake from Phil Jagielka.
The Toffees, who were second-best in Russia, now have four points from two Group H games.
Two weeks ago, they got their campaign off to the best possible start courtesy of a comfortable 4-1 home win over German side Wolfsburg.
That victory showcased a bright, attacking display from a near first-choice Roberto Martinez side to give them confidence of achieving their manager's aim of going as far as possible in this season's competition.
However, despite again naming a strong side, the Spaniard's team were distinctly average in Russia to provide a reality check to their ambitious aims, and they needed a trademark piece of finishing from experienced European campaigner Eto'o, 33, to dig them out of a hole.
