However, it did not pass the Russian Football Union European licensing and its spot was given to Spartak. That RFU decision was overturned by the CAS and Rostov was returned to the Europa League.
2. Krasnodar ahead of Spartak Moscow on head-to-head points; Krasnodar–Spartak Moscow 4–0, Spartak Moscow–Krasnodar 3–2.

Notes

• Match was interrupted in the 86th minute with Dynamo leading 4-2 when Zenit fans ran out of the stands. At first they stood behind the goal line, when the referee decided to take the teams off the field into the dressing rooms and teams began to leave, one of Zenit fans punched Dynamo player Vladimir Granat, the match was then abandoned.[18][19]
• Austria Wien played their home matches at Ernst-Happel-Stadion, Vienna instead of their regular stadium, Franz Horr Stadium, Vienna.
