Arsenal Tula and Rubin Kazan played out a goalless draw in their Russian Cup fixture on November 26, 2025. The match at the Arsenal Stadium failed to produce a winner after 90 minutes, meaning the tie would be decided by a penalty shootout or a replay, depending on the competition's format at that stage. Both teams had periods of possession and created half-chances, but a combination of resilient defending and a lack of cutting edge in the final third led to the stalemate. The result set up a tense conclusion to the cup tie, with both managers likely to emphasize the importance of taking chances in the decisive second leg or shootout.
