Stubborn Rotor hold out for goalless draw against Dynamo

Dynamo Moscow 0-0 Rotor Volgograd
VEB Arena, Saturday 15 August

Man of the Match: Dmitry Skopintsev (Dynamo)

Despite Dynamo Moscow taking 20 shots on goal to Rotor Volgograd’s three, only three were on target as they played out a stalemate. Maximilian Phillip and Nikolay Komlichenko missed golden chances in the last 10 minutes but their headers flashed just wide.

Dynamo Moscow host FC Rostov up next on Wednesday 19 August, while Rotor Volgograd are away to Akhmat Grozny on the same day.
