Dinamo keep chase, Grozny lose again

Dinamo Moscow kept up the pressure on Russian Premier League leaders Zenit St. Petersburg by coming from behind to earn a 2-1 win at home to Krasnodar. With Zenit not in action today, Dinamo closed the gap to two points and went level with CSKA Moscow - having now played a game more - as Andriy Voronin scored in each half. Eugeni Shipitsyn had put Krasnodar in front with his 29th-minute strike but former Liverpool man Voronin led the fightback, levelling three minutes later and finding a winner with 15 minutes left on the clock. Terek Grozny continue to labour as they went down 1-0 at home to Spartak Nalchik, with Magomed Mitrishev scoring the first-half winner. Igor Smolnikov's winner four minutes from time earned Rostov a 1-0 win at home to Krylya Sovetov. Volga Nizhny Novgorod and Amkar Perm shared a goalless draw enlivened only by the dismissals of the visitors' Georgi Peev and then later on Dani Bondarv.
