Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. FK Lokomotiv Moskva host FK Rubin Kazan — let the battle begin!
- 5' It looks surprising FK Rubin Kazan does not make any changes. Konstantin Kuchaev has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

- 25' Yurii Dyupin has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 223 appearances.
- 30' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
