Second Southern shock of the day as 10-man Akhmat beat Rostov away

FC Rostov 0-1 Akhmat Grozny
Russian Cup Last 16
Sunday 21 February, Rostov Arena

Goal: Akhmat - Berisha (pen 19)

Sent off: Akhmat - Nenakhov (47)

Bernard Berisha's first-half spot kick was enough to ease 10-man Akhmat into the Russian Cup quarter-finals at the expense of Rostov. The visitors spent almost the entire second half at a numerical disadvantage - and survived Matthias Normann's missed penalty attempt late on - but managed to hold on for a shock win. 

The Cup quarter-final draw will take place on 23 February, with dates to be confirmed later.
