FC Krasnodar came from a goal down to beat Rubin Kazan 3-1, taking full advantage of a first-half red card for the hosts. Rubin took the lead through Mirlind Daku in the 12th minute, but Ilya Rozhkov’s dismissal for a straight red in the 18th minute changed the game.
Krasnodar equalised just before half-time when Juan Manuel Boselli scored, then Nikita Krivtsov put them ahead in the 53rd minute after a Boselli assist. Christian sealed the win with a third goal in the 90th minute, adding a late booking to his name.
The visitors dominated from start to finish, with 73% possession, 19 shots to Rubin’s 4, and eight shots on target. They also created six big chances, scoring two of them, while Rubin managed only one big chance — their goal.
