Rubin Kazan dropped more points in the league table after claiming a draw against Zenit St. Petersburg at Petrovsky stadium. They have now recorded their third league draw during the third league round.
The Tatary striker, Nelson Valdez, equalized during the second half of the match to cancel out Szabolcs Huszti's opener for the host team.
In the aftermath of the outcome, Cesar Navas has hailed his side following the latest draw against Zenit, revealing that they claimed a vital point which will help them in their quest to claim a UEFA Champions League berth this
season.
“This is a good result, taking into account the potential of our opponent. I think we played decent football, but on the other hand, but we need to work harder because there are not many games left till the end of the championship.”
The former Malaga player was quoted as saying.
Navas admitted that Zenit are arguably the best Russian team and they are favourites to retain the league title this season. He revealed that they played a brilliant game on the away turf despite the Bomzhi’s home advantage.
He went on to praise the Volzhane, revealing that they not only scored the equalizer but also restricted the home team from scoring the winner. With the latest draw, Rubin have moved up to the seventh spot on the league table and
are a massive 13 points behind the top spot.
Zenit defender, Nicolas Lombaerts, sustained a head injury while winning an aerial battle in the penalty box. The Belgian stopper had to receive medical treatment off the pitch after colliding with Nelson Valdez.
Speaking on the situation, Navas said: “Of course, it’s not nice to see an injury. But football is like that. I think nothing serious has happened with Navas. He was a fine after the game and communicated with us. I also wish Lombaerts
a speedy recovery.”
