Welliton had put Spartak ahead four minutes before the break. The visitors looked set to claim the spoils but the Belarus international managed to rescue a point at the death. Second-placed Rubin remain, mathematically at least, still in the race for the title, lying eight points behind Zenit St Petersburg with three games to play. Zenit, though, have a game in hand and can clinch the title with victory against CSKA Moscow on Wednesday.
