Friday 7 May, Fisht Olympic Stadium

Goals: Sochi - Rudenko (9), Yusupov (90+3); Rotor - Shchetkin (30)
Man of the Match: Zuriko Davitashvili (Rotor)

Aleksandr Rudenko bundled in an early opener to take Sochi to within touching distance of Europe. 

Aleksey Shchetkin struck on the half-hour mark with his second goal in two games, heading in Nikolay Kipiani's corner. 

With virtually the last kick of the match, however, Anton Zabolotny flicked on a cross where Arthur Yusupov was lurking to lash in a jubilant finish. 

Sochi go fourth on 52 points, while Rotor stay 14th on 21 points.
