Emre Can cancelled out Marko Devic's surprise opener before visiting captain Oleg Kuzmin was sent off for a second bookable offence in the 37th minute.
Liverpool should have pressed home their numerical advantage but the closest they came was from substitute Christian Benteke's shot against the post.
"Tonight is not a masterclass but it is not the worst day in my life," said Klopp.
"It was a very interesting game, a big challenge because of the quality of Rubin.
"Everyone can see they are not too bad, very experienced, very cool and when they have the ball they were really good and made a first goal - that is one of the biggest challenges in football.
"You need to restart in the game but we did it well and got our goal, before that they got the red card.
"Sometimes it is a big advantage against 10 men, most of the time they stop playing football and defend in a compact block.
"We had our moments and hit the post through Christian but at the end (there was) no goal.
