Sibaya wins second League title

Posted: 2009-11-22 10:18

MacBeth Sibaya has won a second successive Russian Premier League title even though his club Rubin Kazan did not win their penultimate game at home to Zenit St Petersburg on Saturday.

A 0-0 draw lifted Rubin Kazan to 60 points with one match left to go but Spartak Moscow’s 3-2 defeat in their derby match against CSKA handed Kazan the title.

Spartak stayed on 55 points and now cannot catch Rubin Kazan with one round of matches left to play.

The Tatarstan-based club were surprise league winner last season and have continued to shake up the world of football with several upset results in the UEFA Champions League, including a recent away win at Barcelona.

Sibaya’s side play a crucial Champions League this week against Ukraine’s Dynamo Kiev where a home win will give them a massive chance of going to the knockout phase.
