Despotovic added time penalty breaks Rotor hearts

print version

Rubin Kazan 1-1 Rotor Volgograd
Sunday 16 May, AkBars Arena

Goals: Rubin - Despotovic (pen 90+2); Rotor - Flamarion (pen 78)
Man of the Match: Flamarion (Rotor)

With their relegation rivals Ufa and Arsenal still awaiting their delayed kickoff, Flamarion stepped up to convert a critical penalty to hand Rotor Volgograd the lead. Knowing that a win would secure them safety, they fought valiantly until deep in added time. A VAR decision confirmed a handball in the boz, leaving top scorer Djordje Despotovic to smash home an equaliser.

If Ufa lose their delayed home fixture against relegation rivals Arsenal Tula, then Rotor will be saved.

Rubin finish fourth on 53 points, while Rotor Volgograd temporarily move up to 14th out of the relegation zone on 22 points.
