Defeat In Derby
Lokomotiv's youth team have lost to Spartak in Gamweek 7 of the Russian Championship.
Spartak are the title holders who started this season really unsuccessfully - five defeats in six games. On the contrary, Lokomotiv had been doing well despite some very serious reshuffles - we lost our first game only in the last gameweek.
However, the home team dominated in the first half. On 15 minutes Rudenko opened the score after finding himself all alone at the edge of the box. The player had enough time to to work the ball, take a look at the goal and shoot.
Ten minutes later Lopatin scored a second goal, finishing a cross from the left. Soon he scored a brace finishing a cross from the right.
The second half was a formality even despite an early own goal. During 45 minutes the teams created just a hanful of chances. Lokomotiv had a real opportunity to score another goal when Mironov's cross ended up on a crossbar Nevertheless, the score remained unchanged, sealing Lokomotiv's second defeat this season.
