Russian based trio of striker Evans Kangwa, winger Lameck Banda and midfielder Klings Kangwa all played a part but could not help Arsenal Tula as they went down 2-1 away at Rostov.
Evans Kangwa walked straight into the starting line up having missed the 3-2 loss to Spartak Moscow due to injury. Lameck and Klings again starred on the bench.

The hosts only needed a minute to open the scores as Pavel Mamaev managed to sneak one through from close range and quickly made it two-nil through Aleksey Ionov.
Tula pulled a goal back 13 minutes into the second half through Evgeni Lutsenko who headed in a beautiful cross from Daniil Lesovoy.
Coach Igor Cherevchenko introduced Klings Kangwa in the 67th minute replacing Serbian midfielder Goran Čaušić while Lameck Banda came on to replace Evans Kangwa 12 minutes to time. The duo could not however help change the scoreboard as the game ended 2-1 in favor of Rostov.
