Tested By The Champions' League

The game started with a cold shower for Lokomotiv: in the second minute Calhanoglu played one-two with Son Heung-Min, moved forward up the centre and took a shot at the lower corner scoring a cracker. Five minutes later the the Germans doubled the lead when Ilya Abayev knocked down an opponent in the box and couldn't block the penalty kick by Kiessling.

With this feasible advantage on their side, the Lions still wanted more blood. In one episode Bellarabi was inaccurate, in another - Kiessling broke through up the centre but his attempt went wide.

By the end of the half Lokomotiv had managed to push the opponents off their goal and set up some good counter-attacks. Maicon was trying to run one-on-one but Spahic managed to clear. In another offensive, N'Doye had a chance when he received the ball in the centre, turned around and blasted but the ball went wide.

An hour into the game the Senegalese set up for himself when he rounded two opponents on his way to Kresic's goal but was stopped eventually.

Despite the pretty equal game in the second half, the Germans made the score big. In the 65th minute Yurchenko hit the ball first touch sending it right into the corner.

Lokomotiv scored ten minutes before the final whistle. Maicon carried the ball into the area and left it to Sergey Tkachyov whose gentle pass found Roman Pavlyuchenko at the far post. The forward got covered by the opponents but managed to pass to Roman Shishkin who netted it.

In the end of the game both teams had fat chances to score. Bayer didn't use theirs when Abayev was better in a one-to-one duel, then Kresic blocked Pavlyuchenko's attempt granting Loko a corner. SuperPav had another opportunity but his header went a fraction wide.

Shortly after the game the Railwaymen are going to Munich to take a flight back to Moscow. On July 24 the team will meet the fans and hold an open training session at Cherkizovo.
