Match ends, Rubin Kazan 0, Liverpool 1.
Rubin Kazan 0-1 Liverpool
- From the section Football

Liverpool gave themselves the chance to qualify for the last 32 of the Europa League with a game to spare with victory over Rubin Kazan.
James Milner shot against the crossbar early on for a dominant Liverpool after Roberto Firmino's through ball.
The deserved opener came after the break when the impressive Jordon Ibe struck home his first goal for the club from 20 yards.
Milner and Ibe had shots saved before the visitors held off late pressure.
Second-placed Liverpool now trail Group B leaders Sion by two points but are three ahead of Bordeaux, who visit Anfield on 26 November.
The Reds will qualify for the knockout stages if they win that match, with their last game a trip to Switzerland to face Sion.

So far, so good for Klopp?
Jurgen Klopp's appointment as Liverpool boss was greeted with almost universal excitement by Reds fans after a disappointing start to the season under Brendan Rodgers.
Thursday's win - their first in this season's Europa League - was their third in succession and supporters will have seen nothing to suggest their belief in Klopp is misplaced.
A new high-tempo, direct pressing style left Rubin Kazan with just 32% possession and seven shots - none on target - compared to Liverpool's 23.
The result means Klopp is unbeaten in his opening six matches, a positive start to his tenure.
New era still a work in progress
With Daniel Sturridge and Danny Ings still injured and Christian Benteke only just back, Liverpool looked a little toothless in the final third.
Their approach play and continual pressing of their hosts resulted in total domination, but just six shots on target from 23 attempts.
The hosts looked disinterested offensively for large periods but Liverpool's failure to kill them off almost cost them dear as the Russians pressed late on.
A new approach in Europe?
Rodgers made a host of changes for Liverpool's opening two Europa League matches of the season
But Klopp named a strong side for the second successive match, despite leaving Adam Lallana and Philippe Coutinho on the substitutes' bench.
Securing Champions League qualification has to be the main aim, but not even a 4,000-mile round trip persuaded Klopp to leave some of his stars in Liverpool.
Man of the match: Jordon Ibe

Manager reaction
Klopp told the Liverpool Echo:"Jordon is a skilful player and a big talent - fast, strong, good at dribbling
"He has to learn so much but has a real good base. He feels good. You could see it in this match.
"Like everyone, he has a long way to go. If he's prepared to listen then he will be very good."
