Krasnodar claims victory

Yura Movsisyan and Eugeni Shipitsyn put the home side 2-0 up within 18 minutes before Miodrag Djudovic (41) reduced the deficit.

Arsen Goshokov equalised 11 minutes into the second half but Marcio Abreu grabbed what proved to be the winner after 79 minutes and the visitor had Djudovic sent off in the closing seconds.

Amkar Perm claimed only its second away win of the season with a 2-1 success at nine-man Volga Nizhny Novgorod.

The home side took the lead after seven minutes through Alexander Belozerov, but then had Gia Grigalava sent off early in the second half.

Amkar soon took advantage to equalise through Vitali Grishin (59) and Nikita Burmistrov (61) put the visitor ahead, while the home side's misery was complete when Andrei Buivolov was dismissed with five minutes left.

The day's other game between Terek Grozny and Krylya Sovetov finished goalless.
