Rubin Kazan delivered a commanding 3-0 victory over Akron Togliatti in Round 16 of the Russian Premier League, with Joel Fameyeh sealing the win in style with an 88th-minute penalty.

In front of 6,496 fans at Ak Bars Arena, Rubin asserted their dominance early. Striker Mirlind Daku stole the show in the opening stages, netting twice within the first 20 minutes. The breakthrough came in the 10th minute when Dmitri Kabutov delivered a precise cross, allowing Daku to calmly finish into the bottom corner. Ten minutes later, Daku struck again, unleashing a ferocious shot into the top right corner from the edge of the box.

Despite Akron Togliatti enjoying 60% possession and creating ten shots on goal, Rubin’s defense remained resolute, denying any chance of a comeback. As the match neared its conclusion, Fameyeh stepped up to convert a penalty with precision, sending the ball into the top left corner to round off the win. The goal marked his first in two league appearances this season.

The victory extends Rubin Kazan’s impressive head-to-head record against Akron to five wins in six matches, solidifying their dominance in this fixture. Rubin now turns their attention to the Russian Cup, where a tough clash against CSKA Moscow awaits on November 26th.
