Amkar Perm climbed out of the Premier Liga relegation zone with a 2-0 win over Terek Grozny this afternoon.

Mitar Novakovic put the hosts in front in the 24th minute and Stevica Ristic made sure of the points immediately after half-time. Amkar move one point clear of Alania Vladikavkaz who drop down into 15th place.

Anzhi Makhachkala gave themselves some breathing room as Igor Strelkov's 24th minute strike was enough to beat Tomsk 1-0. The win leaves them three points above the drop zone.

Alexander Samedov's 51st minute equaliser earned Dinamo Moscow a point at Rostov after they had fallen behind to Chavdar Yankov's first-half strike.
