Rostov and Sochi keep pace in European race

FC Rostov 0-0 FC Sochi 
Saturday 6 March, Rostov Arena 

Sent off: Sochi - Burmistrov (90+5)

Man of the Match: Danil Glebov (Rostov) 

After 17 goals in their previous two meetings, Rostov held high-flying Sochi to a goalless draw at home. Nikita Burmistrov was sent off deep into added time, but too late to affect the outcome. 

The hosts move to within a point of Spartak Moscow and the Europa Conference League places, while Sochi pick up only their second point - and first clean sheet - in six away games. 

Rostov stay fifth on 34 points, while Sochi remain third on 37 points.
