Ural Ekaterinburg 0-1 Rubin Kazan
Sunday 18 April, Ekaterinburg Arena

Goal: Rubin - Jevtic (45)
Sent off: Rubin - Makarov (83)
Man of the Match: Darko Jevtic (Rubin) 

Darko Jevtic struck a superbly judged shot from the edge of the box on the stroke of half time to give Rubin the lead. They had been dealt a blow when star dangeman Khvicha Kvaratskhelia limped off with a possible hamstring injury. 

In the last 10 minutes Denis Makarov was sent off as a penalty was given, but Andrey Panyukov's spot kick was palmed clear by Yury Dyupin. 

Ural remain 12th on 30 points, while Rubin stay sixth/go fourth on 46 points.
