Levante find no way past rigid Rubin
Published: Thursday 7 March 2013, 23.00CET
Both teams finished with ten men as FC Rubin Kazan held Levante UD to a goalless draw in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League last-16 encounter in Valencia.
Despite dominating for long periods, the Granotes failed to make the most of several openings in a contest that brought red cards for Cristian Ansaldi and Míchel in the space of two second-half minutes. The visitors, meanwhile, will take heart from a dogged display and a fervent finish, which almost culminated in an unlikely victory.
