Third-placed Anzhi Makhachkala were beaten 2-0 by Spartak Moscow while Russian Premier League leaders CKSA Moscow had their lead at the top cut to three points after they were defeated by Rubin Kazan.
Despite their impressive showing against the Czech Republic on Friday, Russia coach Dick Advocaat says they are by no means guaranteed to qualify from UEFA EURO 2012 Group A, ahead of tomorrow's game with Poland.
Former Spurs striker Sergei Rebrov was on target as Kazan moved closer to their first-ever title, while Spartak lost to FC in the Moscow derby.
