PFDC  – MARBELLA, Alireza Haghighi played the full 90 minutes for Rubin Kazan in the Marbella Cup semifinal against Lech Poznan, helping his side to a 3-1 win.

Nigerian striker Obafemi Martins gave the Russians an early lead, but the Polish top team equalized after 20 minutes, when Rudnev converted a pinpoint serving from the left from close range, leaving the 23-year-old Iranian keeper no chance.
