Krasnodar 1-0 Rostov: Jubal scores again as unbeaten leaders make history (full highlights)

Another game, another win for the league leaders. Krasnodar made it six from six with a gritty 1-0 victory over Rostov in the southern derby. The only goal came in the 19th minute from Brazilian defender Jubal, who now has three strikes this season after scoring in consecutive matches. The goal itself was a chaotic one Cordoba's header was cleared off the line by Suleymanov, but Christian was first to the rebound and Jubal applied the finishing touch. The real drama, though, unfolded with VAR. On 16 minutes, the ball struck Vitor Tormena's hand no penalty. Then on 82 minutes, referee Nikita Novikov initially pointed to the spot after Kevin Lenini challenged Ivan Komarov, but after a VAR review he overturned his decision and awarded a free-kick on the line. Former referee Igor Fedotov explained Lenini had played the ball. Rostov's press service reacted with sarcasm on social media, and coach Jonathan Alba kept his cool: The referee knows the rules better than me. With 18 points from 18, Krasnodar have set a club record and lead the league by six points over Spartak. Rostov remain on 5 points in 11th. Can Musaev's men chase down Zenit's record of eight straight wins from 2014/15?
