Man of the Match: Rafal Augustinyak (Ural)

Rafal Augustinyak’s second-half double rattled Krasnodar, but Remy Cabella came off the bench to rescue a point for his side. Magomed-Shapi Sulyemanov had put Krasnodar in front after a dominant start, but Igor Smolnikov was given his marching orders before the break to hand the visitors the advantage. Within 15 minutes of the restart, Augustinyak’s interventions reversed the score, but there was still time for Cabella to pounce from close range with time running out.

Krasnodar move up to eighth place on 31 points, while Ural stay 12th, but close the gap to Akhmat to three points.
