Yura Movsisyan bagged a brace as Krasnodar began their Russian Premier League campaign with a 2-1 victory over Rubin Kazan.

Armenia international Movsisyan opened the scoring four minutes before the interval and added his and Krasnodar's second with a penalty in the 61st minute.

Kazan, who famously recorded an upset victory over Barcelona at the Nou Camp in 2009, hit back thanks Bebras Natcho's 65th-minute spot-kick but they could not find an equalizer, FIFA.com said.
