Marko Devic gave Rubin a first-half lead with a brilliantly-taken goal, but Oleg Kuzmin’s red card appeared to have ended the Russians’ chances of picking up a positive result.
Emre Can smashed home an equaliser before half-time, but Liverpool were extremely poor in the second half as the returning Christian Benteke hit the post in one of their few clear-cut opportunities.
