FC Tomsk are all but assured of relegation from the Russian Premier League after a goalless draw at home to Amkar Perm on Friday.

Tomsk saw more of the ball, but were unable to get past Amkar goalkeeper Roman Gerus. Anton Khazov tested Gerus with a looping header on 17 minutes, and hit wide from close range just two minutes later.

Amkar pushed forward, and saw two promising shots blocked on 29 minutes.

“We played for the win,” Tomsk coach Sergei Perednya said. “It just didn’t work out.”

Tomsk’s worn pitch had affected the match, he said.

“The pitch is difficult on the lads. A passing game doesn’t work.”

Tomsk’s relegation will be assured in 14th-placed FC Volga avoid defeat away to FC Krasnodar later Friday.

Bottom club Spartak Naltchik are 11 points from safety but can stave off relegation for another week if they beat Krylya Sovetov later Friday and Volga lose.
